That site is riddled with problems and it definitely makes the department look like it's made up of rookies ... but what can you do?

For a while I have noticed accessing kra.co.ke and iTax systems has been having issues. Although it's not as bad as it was months ago, it still happens. I figure they changed a lot of things which is commendable, but I still have to ask:

- Is it that they have low bandwidth on their servers such that it is difficult to access it when everybody is on it? Or is it that someone hasn't noticed that they need to increase the number of requests that the server can handle at any one time?

It's funny that error 503s still happen since they (the KRA server admins) should be expecting a lot traffic to their sites. Somebody break it down for me because this baffles me. Is it a budget issue (they are not being given the resources they need), a competency issue (they don't know what to do) or a security issue (they are limiting requests to prevent hacking) or what?

Also, I think the KNEC and KPLC website and server admins should learn something from this because when a major update comes from those companies, error 503 from their sites becomes the order of the day , which I think, makes them look like rookies (no offence).
