http://www.wikipedia.or.ke/ now has ads dancing around the screen, the donate link is gone, and the privacy policy and general disclaimer have been removed.
It only has 107,391 articles according to special:statistics.

I took a look at this. From my brief investigation, this appears to be a good-faith effort by someone to locally host a Kenyan version of Wikipedia. The donation button properly links to https://donate.wikimedia.org. The server geolocates to Estonia. I am forwarding this report to Legal. I hope that formal legal action is not necessary and that if the maintainers of the website are responsive that a mutually agreeable settlement can be arranged.
Thanks for finding this, Teles.

Hi, everyone.
Somehow I was directed to this project in a search on Google: http://www.wikipedia.or.ke/
Does anybody know what is that project?
It seems to have a large content in English but pages doesn't mention authorship properly. I am assuming it uses Wikipedia content in violation of copyrights.
It also uses the Wikipedia logo improperly. Not sure if a mirror can do that...
Regards, Teles
