Solomon Mburu,

you give us (kenyaweb) way to much credit ('blushing') the truth is we have done a number of government sites no more than other sectors ad say about 8 or so (we have an odd forty something ministries) what we like about them is the potential functionality they possess over and above the subjective maridadi issues and of course the future impact they will have on citizens as the govt consolidates its technologies and moves more into online systs....al kags and paul kukubo if ictb, egov et al can tell you about the brilliant initatives they have...some are already functional....we take pride that we were apart of this.

On Joomla, well nothing beats a quality open source system that has a jet engine and says the starship enterprise probably has its warp engines running me! :-)

ps
no the sites under review were not done by us.

Most of the govt websites are done by kenyaweb.com, who seem to have a
preference over JOOMLA. The govt's ICT guys should not be blamed if
the ISP is the problem. On restering skunkworks as a business unit, a
plan should already be in place... like yersterday morning!
