If .ke domain statistics is anything to go by, http://www.kenic.or.ke/index.php/ke-domains/ke-domains, then 90% of KENIC's income from .co.ke domain is above Kshs 61.5 million annually. How much rent have they been paying (to their landlord CCK)? Or they have
been joyriding on taxpayers public resources (premises) for free?

<div class="yiv0559067246MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv0559067246MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;">As earlier communicated, the Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) would like to clarify that the proposed licensing framework does not propose the dissolution of KENIC and
thus the need for</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;"> a</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;"> re-delegation. If anything, the proposed framework seeks to strengthen the governance of KENIC by ensuring that the Board is representative
of the local Internet community.</span></div>
<div class="yiv0559067246MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv0559067246MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;">The proposed licensing framework envisages an arrangement where KENIC remains as-is (a multi-stakeholder private public partnership) but with Government represented by another
entity (Kenya ICT Authority). CAK will relinquish its positions in the KENIC Board and assume a regulatory oversight role.</span></div>
<div class="yiv0559067246MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv0559067246MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;">As far as commercialization is concerned, the CAK encourages a business model that will spur the growth of the Dot KE domain name space. It will be upon the new
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;">entity</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;"> to devise such strategies.</span></div>
<div class="yiv0559067246MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv0559067246MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;">With regards to the transition, the relevant processes will be followed to ensure that the transition is not only smooth but within the law.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;">
I also wish to assure listers and stakeholders in general that CAK shall take into consideration all submissions made in respect to this public consultation.
