Please note that the Simba system is more than just a web site its the heart of our revenue collection system and for it to go down for 3 days is an issue of grave concern to those of us in the ICT field foremost and the nation in general.

If KRA's systems can go down yet they literacy have a blank cheque for system or what do we expect from our profit driven institutions?

KRA needs to have 2 or 3 disaster recovery locations spread around the country with automated fail-over, so imagine if the same is the case with the immigration and other sensitive departments that hold our vital data, it seems we have all forgotten about WikiLeaks.

"How come no one has made any comments on the downtime of KRA "
This is Probably because the Govt collects SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS of hard working Kenyan Tax Payers REVENUE and has managed not to account for 714 BILLION Kenya Shillings in a 2 year period.

In this respect, why should anyone care?
