Expired ≠ deleted. Expired domains can still be recovered — deleted ones are fair game for anyone.
Which one is yours?

@kifukofuko @ICTAuthorityKE The .ke namespace remains managed by @KenicTLD, a Kenyan entity. Any acquisition does not transfer sovereignty of the namespace. We are engaging all parties to ensure continuity, data protection, and compliance for Kenyan clients.

[KeNIC TLD @KenicTLD]

@kifukofuko @ICTAuthorityKE Thank you @kifukofuko for raising this.
Under the oversight of @CA_Kenya and in line with the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019, all ICT service providers including registrars and hosters operating in Kenya must comply with local laws.

[KeNIC TLD @KenicTLD]

There's a big gap between countries and where they are with their registries. Some are advanced, some are behind. Regional collaboration is really important, because the different registries will be learning from each other." - Doreen Kapoteza, ICT Specialist @tevetamalawi (.mw)
