I was sure that website looked a bit different a few months ago. Did someone tinker with it? In any case, a new look is certainly worth whatever investment State House would need to make (even if it means accepting Areba's kind offer).<div>
<br></div><div>Despite its aesthetic failings, the State House website is probably the most frequently updated in all government. Sometimes within hours of H.E. the President making a speech the story and images are up. One gets the impression that there's a rational plan for how the website fits into the overall communications strategy. Maybe the staff at the State House need to help out their relatives at Vigilance House :)</div>

I wonder who is responsible for State House website? Does Directorate of Govt ICT oversee these things? We still don't have an answer regarding the Kenya Police website, or is there?<br>

<br><br>Hello and I hope this finds you OK and in good health. <br><br></div><div>Please have a look at the attached photos viz a viz <a href="http://statehouse.go.ke" target="_blank">statehousekenya.go.ke</a> website. I took two days off and decided to give it a makeover, now all i need is an email address i can forward the script (php) and db (sql) for the site. (its done in wordpress). or just login for file transfer and db on an accessible server. <br>
<br>I think we are in agreement that what is online from a design / web dev perspective is horrendous. (With all due respect to the developer). Consider this a gift from a kenyan patriotic enough to be pissed at the image being potrayed by those doing this, (that there are no competent web developers in the country).<br>
<br>Kind Regards,<br><font color="#888888">Areba.<br>
