​KRA has the technology and this is not probably a tech issue but more to do with the complexity of the system, makes it hard to use. 
The security on it also annoys too and once you switch the "chicken security stuff"  the whole thing gets fails​. I don't understand what
they would like to achieve by this complexity. Even if it spins on the fastest hardware, the issue is the same, as a user spent more time
on a single issue, trying and trying, call KRA, them they try and  have tried, then you are told please try again. This anomalies or 
unpredicted behaviors that jeopardize the correct functioning of the entire system.

Let us not be so excited with Technology and Cloud Services thing and
forget our data thiefs like US (US spies) and other foreign information
malpractitioners. I still insist that we maintain data at KRA storehouse or
create our own local cloud (in Karura Forest, Hotsite Mombasa and Coldsite
in Kericho :)
