Charles, all you've talked is right and well.I support it . The KBS is the rightful organ to deal with the standardization of all goods coming into the country but KITU KIDOGO is the one causing the great nation to suffer this far. Now with ISOC-KE we have a say in those areas if we tackle it well and we can save our country and build a future for those people to come standard should be set out for what we want and what we don't want as per our standard.

Two years ago I bought a phone for 4K, but dint last two hours. I tried to return it to the seller to no avail, the cops also wouldn't help. I simply threw it away. Before the announcement, how would innocent people distinguish between fake and original? I think it is unfair to switch off unless there are some plans for compensation. Why do we allow them in, in the first place? Then how can consumers seek redress in case of complaint? Do we have legal mechanisms, rather than be told to go report to KBS office to lodge complaint. What if am residing in Turkana or Mandera? Won't the cost of travel be double the cost of the phone? Can we then say that our fundamental human rights are not adequately being addressed. I think its is time order was brought in to protect the general innocent public from suffering.
