Good link, you're absolutely right. I forgot about how expensive ccTLDs are. Still, since only Kenyan groups use .ke (unlike .tv let's > say), Kenic is simply taxing the groups most useful to the local Internet economy driving them to TLDs like .biz and .com.
I highly doubt a $9 price differential PA would strongly influence organisations one way or another. There may however be other factors (perception, ease of administration, ease of payment) that may influence them towards gTLDs. For individuals I would buy the argument that it may influence their decision but I'm sure I read about KENIC addressing that by introducing cheap/free vanity domains (the details elude me).
