Fellow skunks, I hold this issue in very high regard. Our friends at KENIC (http://www.kenic.or.ke) charge about KShs. 4000 for a .ke domain name. (Is it worth it compared to a .com domain name for KShs. 1000?) It seemed reasonable at first when they said that the high cost was meant to recoup their investment. (...and I personally think that this is increasingly becoming an outdated excuse!) Their website states that this would be the situation for two years, which, as you may have noticed, went by long ago. I will word my request to you in a question: How, or rather, what strategy do we use to convince KENIC to reduce the price for a .ke domain name? Over to you skunkers.

Integrated Tax Management System KRA

Today story in Business Daily : KRA moves to curb cheating by clearing agents http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/-/539444/654926/-/item/1/-/ocdm01z/-/ind… KRA has been in a row with clearing agents for the better part of this year since it piloted the Integrated Tax Management System (ITMS) that requires tax payers to pay duty directly online rather than rely on agents. The plan is to eventually phase out the agents from collecting revenue on behalf of the Taxman. “Once the new system is fully embraced, tax payers will pay duty directly, instead of relying on agents, some of whom are not trustworthy,” Mr Michael Waweru, KRA commissioner general said in an earlier interview. ------------------- A comment. Importers know what they import and what duties and Kebs pre checks are needed. Then what is there to negotiate when the shipments arrive? I think KRA should go fast pace IT on this project asap, importers pay directly and reduce on clearance times from port leading to less congestion. As long as KRA and govt allow procedure abuses or delays, the exploits cannot stop. My thots..

Anyone on Zuku
by Kevin Ouma 08 Sep '09

Since moving to seacom would zuku users advise if its now ok to subscribe to their service. I am a bit jittery about committing equipment costs to a ISP then the service ends up being lousy. Speaking of which is there any form of consumer protection from the CCK against ISPs who promise good speeds but do not deliver but you are bound to a contract and expensive equipment costs ? Kevin
