You will find that other than Martha Karua&#39;s site, .<a href="http://co.ke">co.ke</a> domains exist for the other sites, though it isn&#39;t clear if it is domain squatting (the Raila one is clear domain squatting). <div>
<br></div><div>When choosing a domain name, it&#39;s often prudent to buy alternative spellings and also common misspellings. Good examples are <a href="http://gogle.com">gogle.com</a> and <a href="http://facbook.com">facbook.com</a>. For large corporates, it becomes costly, since you have to buy  domains in as many countries as you can. ie <a href="http://apple.com">apple.com</a>, <a href="http://apple.co.ke">apple.co.ke</a> and <a href="http://apple.co.ug">apple.co.ug</a><br>

Quite pathetic that aspiring presidential candidates can opts for .com<br>
domain rather than a .ke. If as a president you cannot buy Kenya and<br>
promote the local brand, who will?<br>
<br>
We need to emulate the pride of Deutsches, who have the second biggest<br>
TLD in the world .de, rivalled only by .com. Surprisingly one of these<br>
presidential candidates spent a considerable amount of time in<br>
Deutscheland yet he has not borrowed those ideals and replicated them<br>
in Kenya.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://teamuhuru.co.ke" target="_blank">teamuhuru.co.ke</a> is the only candidate who scores 100% on this metric.<br>
<br>
Yes, &quot;Brand Kenya&quot; is now a campaign issue.<br>
