You will find that other than Martha Karua's site, .co.ke domains exist for the other sites, though it isn't clear if it is domain squatting (the Raila one is clear domain squatting). When choosing a domain name, it's often prudent to buy alternative spellings and also common misspellings. Good examples are gogle.com and facbook.com. For large corporates, it becomes costly, since you have to buy domains in as many countries as you can. ie apple.com, apple.co.ke and apple.co.ug On 30 December 2012 21:52, Kivuva <Kivuva@transworldafrica.com> wrote:

Quite pathetic that aspiring presidential candidates can opts for .com domain rather than a .ke. If as a president you cannot buy Kenya and promote the local brand, who will?
We need to emulate the pride of Deutsches, who have the second biggest TLD in the world .de, rivalled only by .com. Surprisingly one of these presidential candidates spent a considerable amount of time in Deutscheland yet he has not borrowed those ideals and replicated them in Kenya.
teamuhuru.co.ke is the only candidate who scores 100% on this metric.
Yes, "Brand Kenya" is now a campaign issue.
