Assuming this its the total domain cost to customer then they are
subsidizing .ke domain costs which is not sustainable domaining
business.

Kenic domain charges 2,000/=
Add 16% vat                  320/=
                                -----------
                                2,320/=
                                -----------
Add transaction costs (customer-side processing and payments to kenic)
Add annual charges to registrar by kenic
Add pro-rated internal domain management costs

-ve income per domain :-( it does not make business sense. Unless they
recover by loading on website development or hosting implying they
must then  force the customer to host with them.
