KNEC Sites-Offline

Been trying to log in to the KNEC sites www.knec.ac.ke and www.exanmscouncil.or.ke 24 hrs since the elections were posted to no avail. Am sure most of the candidates, parents and guardians are experiencing the same. So what is the need for these sites if 24 hrs after the announcements nobody can access their results. 24 hrs later am sure the exams are available at the schools. So having these sites beats the logic.
Do the technocrats really know what goes on coz even trying to access the KCPE results gives the same report. There is no excuse for lousy services. The exams results are a perishable service..its shelf life is 2-5 days athawiz it is stale. So the producers of this service should ensure that they provide the best service in thoise five which i believe is possible. The excuse that so many people are trying to access the site is lame. However, there might be varied reason which can explain the current situation. First maybe that those hosting the site are using the slow ass internet we are used to. Maybe the computer hosting the site is dead or anatha tortoise.The site could be running on a MS-Access Database on a P2 machine with 128MB of RAM which is a server by government standards. Or maybe those hosting the site are the same ones offering SMS services so they wouldn't want the site to be fast so as people can send as many SMSes as possible....
This is Kenya anything goes.
