Kenya has experienced erratic Internet linkage since Thursday last week following repairs on an undersea cable.
Most state agencies websites were off the world wide web.
The East African Marine System (TEAMs), which supplies the bulk of international data links to Kenya, will remain offline until Tuesday as it undergoes maintenance expected to last eight weeks.
This has affected crucial State sites such as Immigration, Finance, and Education ministries as well as Parliament, which were offline until 3pm Monday.
This outage meant that public services such as downloading of online passport and birth certificate application forms were grounded.
Kenyans could also not access general information from the websites while IT administrators at the affected agencies could not upload new content.
“The cable repair has left us with serious Internet issues since Friday,” said Eric Isuza, an IT specialist at the Energy ministry.
