Hallo,
Are Kenya Govt websites down, or is it just my ISP that's blocking them? I'm on a Safaricom Wireless service.
The following sites do not load:
http://www.communication.go.ke/
http://www.kenyapolice.go.ke/
"Government" link on http://www.statehousekenya.go.ke/index.htm says it's under construction.
Cheers!

Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the
