Lets not kid ourselves….there is nothing sooooo kenyan about .co.ke
.COM still is the prime domain and I would only opt for .CO.KE on unavailability. Online presence is purely business, no patriotism.
There are better ways t prove patriotism e.g. what Peter Kenneth has done to Gatanga as opposed to these CORD clowns who simply lead villages : one the poorest one in Ukambani and one the biggest slum village I the east African region……..These 2 are the last who should even think of being patriotic

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

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.
