The ICT principal secretary,the National Intelligence Service, Kenya Defence Forces, CID, CAK director-general and ICT Authority chief executive think state websites can be made secure simply by moving them to Kenya! We should be very worried! God-forbid that these hackers should get ideas of hacking other government systems that are more crucial to us, we will be annihilated! On 25 July 2014 11:10, Joseph M.

Thomas, you forgot to add that we should stop hiring Kenyan techies and go for the Indian ones, who are faster and cheaper. On 16 Jul 2014 09:08, "Thomas Kibui" <thomas.kibui@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello,
The same question would apply to you who is opposed to having websites hosted elsewhere ...
Why do you have a gmail or yahoo account. Why can't you open an email account hosted in Kenya .. If you cant get one continue using PO Box will somebody comes up with one. STOP using FOREIGN SERVICES
Secondly you also contribute local content from your phone, tablet PC ETC .. Why place it in domains hosted abroad in the name of facebook, instagram and twitter .. .. STOP USING FOREIGN DOMAINS ... Print it and hang it in Yaya or Sarit Centre notice boards until someone comes up with a social media site hosted in Kenya
I think its time people stopped looking at the Internet like a geographical map ... The Internet has no boundaries.

Hi,
As a kenyan do you think its okay that most County Government website are being hosted abroad by Amazon, Unified layer etc? There are many companies in Kenya who can manage a simple county government website or what is not right about hosting it here?
nairobi.go.ke (IP: 205.251.232.38) kisumu.go.ke 174.136.57.140 mombasacounty.com nakuru.go.ke
