Anyway, here is snapshot of one of the clauses in the Regulations (2010) being applied now and I quote
>>(2) A person shall not create a new sub - domain under the Kenya country code Top Level Domain without the approval of the >>Commission.

Meaning that If I run the university mmu.ac.ke domain, and need to create a domain from our town branch as in town.mmu.ac.ke I have to run to my good friend the DG, Wangusi to grant me the permission. I am sure he will give me the permission but the bigger question is why should I ask?

Walu,

I am 100% sure you have misinterpreted that clause! 

My understanding of it is that you cannot create something like .TV.ke or .MOBI.ke without the consent of that dragon called CA. The dragon will decide on what gets created besides .or.ke and such like.

However, once you have walu.or.ke the dragon has not power (moral authority or whatever) to stop you from creating kanduyi.walu.or.ke  unless they also want to come and manage your DNS servers.
