The number of registered Kenyan domains rose by 5,702 in the 12 months to June this year, pointing to a rebound of enterprise that is reversing a decline that was triggered by the Covid-19 scourge.

The latest data from the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) shows that the number of listed local domains grew to an all-time high of 103,298 as of June this year up from the 97,596 recorded in the same month last year, translating to a 5.8 percent rise.
