About a month or so ago, Kenic, the .ke domain administrator shared the numbers that the registrars were pulling in. This was in a marketing campaign meant to increase the number of domains.

The list was shared to all the registrars and I guess anyone who was interested. To me it looked like name and shame but when I spoke to Anthony Wambugu, the new Kenic CEO, it was a way to motivate the registrars.

I said thanks to Wambugu and team for sharing this list because in many occasions, people close to the Kenic board say “I sell so many .ke domains” and when I look at the list, it is such a shame.

I also had a chance to visit Kenic offices and hear of how the .ke has changed, the plans for the future etc…. Yes, they have changed, at least I got some tea and samosa 🙂 and for the other aspects, it remains to be seen.

The team seemed eager to prove that Kenic is way better. They kept on saying how the online reputation was bad, courtesy of some bloggers and with a straight face I asked “who are these bloggers?” and I got a silent stare from the marketing manager 🙂

Before I digress to other things…… first enjoy the numbers…..
