Yep, that was so.

"Kshs. 500.00 dot KE Domain Names
KENIC has revised the dot KE fees structure by offering several second level domains at subsidised rates. The cost of AC.KE (for tertiary institutions), SC.KE (for schools) and GO.KE (for government entities) is now Kshs. 500.00 down from Kshs. 2,000.00 to Kshs. 500.00 per year (exclusive of VAT) previously. The changes were endorsed by the local Internet community during the 5th KENIC AGM held on Friday the 15th of August 2008.

I am not sure whether this is still the case.

Hellos,

What is the cost of a .go.ke?

The price is the same for all .KE
However, for a .go.KE, you need approval from GITS.
