When it comes to P-P E-commerce you dont launch products that are not flying already.
Who is the project manager? did they conduct pilot run with Kenyans on Internet before launching it?

launches always almost goes wrong, hata some of the big IT names have suffered from that, though I am not defending shoddy work, but if a product is vital users will find a way around the weaknesses.

but the portal layout is pathetic, error messages appearing below other page elements, animated content that is acting erratically, they are trying to capture the mobile devices and all other devices in a single interface using poorly paid interns. Sad

And do you know how much flak he got from that? A cabinet secretary had to resign and the portal henceforth had to work like a charm. It gave the republicans some good momentum as well on this year's mid terms...

But here, we are used to this mediocrity, the police launched theirs some while ago, but if you go with a form or P3 downloaded from the internet (If you can find it) utafukuzwa,

we can list several sites launched by GoK here that are now moribund.. unused money siphoning projects.

am not privy to the details but most likely the project managers were under pressure for this website to be working by today ..

here is detailed report of what led to the obamacare website failure

CMS launched HealthCare.gov without verification that it met performance requirements," GAO said, because the agency pushed back reviews of the site's performance to just weeks before the Oct. 1 launch
