What does the Squid error say for that page (what error do browsers see when using the proxy to get to www.google.co.ke)? The 503 error is cached (given the NONE in the 9th column), but that can be given for a number of reasons (Connection Failed, No DNS Entry, Permission Denied (on web server), actual server error, etc.). Put a request out to your clients to get a screen capture of the error.
