This section appears straight forward. My interpretation is that 83D.(1) (a) refers to Certification Agencies and 83D.(1)(b) refers to .ke registrars both of whom require to be licensed by the CCK. This is necessary to make the Internet a secure environment to carry out e-commerce. I have not seen the section that requires those publishing local content to have to pay.<p>Waudo</p><pre>On Tue, 3 Feb 2009 14:34:10 +0300, "nancy bosire" <bozaya@gmail.com> said:
