Companies like safcom and orange have sites hosted locally and they are very fast and i have neva seen it down especially one the one for safcom. So there is on excuse for having them in the states.

So you want them to host locally and then make noise at them when its down due to power issue - I personally wouldn't want that for any website, leave alone government ones.
Think this is the biggest problem ailing our country we even giving excuses for the govt which spends almost a billion on hospitality, the govt can host their data centre even in NE run it on windmills or solar. power outage is the lamest excuse even for security they can afford the best brains in the market..probably poach the guys in the security forum and we will move many steps ahead.......
Anyway let them enjoy cheap hosting + 99.999% uptime

Having a million dollars in the bank doesn't mean you can misuse it, you still spend prudently. hosting your website in the US will save you more money to put to good use elsewhere. - cost is always an issue especially if the cheaper option gives you better service and uptime.
CCK is parastatal or is it govt, you will realise the much they spend on tea alone is something else. CCK site is meant to be accessed i believe by mostly Kenyan's based in the country which means if we have unstable infrustructure even if it's up we won't have power in the country and therefore it will still be down to us.
