Thanks for the update.
Another interesting premium domain is Alphabet.ke. Yup, you guessed right..It's not the garden variety Alphabet that is driving the price to Kshs. 1.5m as of this morning.. :-) It's the Google variety..If you get my drift.. :-)

The auction is getting very interesting..
By the way.. This is a note to KENIC - I believe there are bidders who are using bots to automate the auction alerts.. Amazing stuff!
Great use case for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning..
