This is good news, but the Gov. <KBS> should escalate their acts. 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.
