According to Safaricom if you are a postpaid user or a registered mpesa user then you don't need to register as Safaricom already has your details. I would imagine the same applies to Zap. Brian On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 12:45 PM, Theus Owicho <owichot@gmail.com> wrote:

Across Europe, I found you could just buy a SIM card and use it. No one really bothered. However in Singapore, you don't get to buy a SIM card if you don't have proper identification, and they take a copy of your identification to accompany the registration! If, for instance, you call for a taxi (Taxi companies there are registered and individuals CANNOT operate taxis!) and disappear with another one that just happened to be nearer, you will receive a bill anyway:-) Now, personally, I don't see anything ill with the requirement that we register SIM cards, and I am not opposed to the govt using my information. After all, the govt controls everything, bar for the air you breath, no? That is why it is government. You don't wish you were in Somalia, right? I really don't understand why someone would NOT want to register their SIM cards. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

Here is the problem : Its going to be costly, and the cost will be transferred to us, and may not necessarily achieve the intended purpose: reasons: 1: Physical verification of documents will not be cheap, take for instance safaricom. automatic verification is not practical (unless they pursue an integration of births registry with immigration and other departments and just integrate the data. The cost will be borne by safaricom, trust me. 2: If the objective is to track criminal activitied on phone, then criminals might just resort to using stolen phones. :-( 3: The institutions currently existing have the needed resources to track mobile phone users. if not, the contacts for Cloie O'brien should be somewhere out there. she can sort them out. :-)) On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 1:05 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

People, Though it might seem logistically insurmountable by Safaricom to register all the nearly 16m SIM cards on its network, almost half of them are on M-Pesa so they need not register again. In the over a month that the rest have, most will show up at service centres for one reason or another and get registered. The ones that do not will have their numbers disconnected come July 30th. This will achieve two things: the people who've held multiple SIM cards for one reason or another will lose them and the genuine ones will rush to their service providers to reactivate their phones, and get registered. Having said that, there is no legal basis for this as yet though the law is just being drawn up but it seems the CCK and the government are pretty hellbent on pushing this through for security reasons.

Friends , this is common practice in Europe as Wash aptly captured it, we must look at it from the point of Merit and demerits of not registering the Sim card, i suppose this was long overdue, i remember buying my sim in 2002 and i had to register, then the practice was discarded ostensibly to promote growth of the industry which has already taken place , i suppose the next step would be to manage this growth, which is why registration is key.

@ Brianiac I think you got it all wrong. There is no additional cost.They just want to know who owns what line. They already have that with Mpesa,zap ETC....and that did not translate to additional cost.

the idea is anything that involves "physical verification of documents" will have a MAN HOURS cost to do. Think of counting votes manually, and the cost of staff to do that. or simply voter registration process.... On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 3:41 PM, Joseph McDonald <mcdonaldoj@gmail.com>wrote:

Across Europe, I found you could just buy a SIM card and use it. No one really bothered. However in Singapore, you don't get to buy a SIM card if you don't have proper identification, and they take a copy of your identification to accompany the registration! If, for instance, you call for a taxi (Taxi companies there are registered and individuals CANNOT operate taxis!) and disappear with another one that just happened to be nearer, you will receive a bill anyway:-) Now, personally, I don't see anything ill with the requirement that we register SIM cards, and I am not opposed to the govt using my information. After all, the govt controls everything, bar for the air you breath, no? That is why it is government. You don't wish you were in Somalia, right? I really don't understand why someone would NOT want to register their SIM cards.

Considering we are redefining the mobile phone in Kenya to not only be a communication gadget but a banking and identity gadget then registration is the only logical way of identifying transanction originators..Let's also not forget in the next few years NFC technologies will enable mobile phone enabled contactless transanctions at point of sale.. Its only logical to start associating users with their simcards now in preparation for this. Regards, John.

My only concern, there's still no legislation on privacy and data protection and that is a lot of info they'll be collecting. On 6/23/10, Joseph McDonald <mcdonaldoj@gmail.com> wrote:

-- Believe: - To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe ----Anatole France

I think its a noble idea for the registration and i agree with Brainiac, these cost will reach us, the end users. An example Look at the MPesa registration it is semi automated and "physical id verification" is unavoidable. Can we be protected as they do this process, as it is now our data will be out there at the mercy of the integrity of these providers. my 2cents On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 5:25 PM, Wanjiru Njoroge <wanjirunjoroge@gmail.com>wrote:

David, Your source is not authoritative enough. This is a press release out of Safaricom today. From: "Rodgers Wabito" <rodgers@ginadin.com> Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2010 11:15:05 To: <rodgers@ginadin.com> Subject: Safaricom says M-PESA and PostPay customers exempt from SIM Card Registration, Safaricom says M-PESA and PostPay customers exempt from SIM Card Registration, Urges Subscribers to Follow State Directive Nairobi, June 23, 2010...Leading communications firm Safaricom has clarified that it's M-PESA and PostPay customers do not have to register their lines afresh under the SIM card registration directive currently being implemented in the country. Even then, such customers may make time to verify their details as received and recorded by the firm. The two services already require one's personal details to be registered when signing a contract with Safaricom, under the Know Your Customer (KYC) and other prudential rules which have always been strictly enforced by Safaricom. With M-PESA commanding about 10 million subscribers, this announcement is expected to be a major reprieve for the firm's customers. It means that out of a total subscriber roll of over 15 million, only about 5 million are required to register under the presidential directive. Safaricom had already kicked off the registration process at it's over 31 Safaricom Retail Centers countrywide following the Government directive requiring all mobile phone SIM cards to be registered by end of July 2010. Subscribers can also register their details at 2,500 Safaricom dealer outlets and 1,600 M-PESA agents countrywide. Under the new rules, users are required to give their postal and physical address, date of birth and alternative phone numbers, besides their names and identity cards. The directive also applies to those buying new SIM cards. Safaricom Chief Executive Officer Michael Joseph, is now urging all Safaricom subscribers to visit the company's retail outlets and other registration points countrywide to have their SIM cards registered. "We have put in place all the necessary measures to ensure a smooth process. Besides our Retail Centers, dealers and M-PESA agents have also been mobilized and sensitized to assist in this important process. They can also download the registration form from our website <http://www.safaricom.co.ke/> www.safaricom.co.ke or portal www.safaricom.com, print it out and present the completed form at any of our registration centres. We are urging our subscribers not to wait till the last minute to register," he said. Minors with SIM cards will be required to be accompanied by an adult, who will register as the owner of the card and the minor as the user. Subscribers are not supposed to pay any cash in order to get the forms and should report anyone asking for cash for the same. On Monday, June 21, market regulator Communications Commission of Kenya, with the support of the country's four mobile operators launched a campaign for SIM card registration. This follows a presidential directive issued in July last year. The move was occasioned by widespread crime being perpetrated through mobile phone lines, and is expected to act as a deterrent, while making the work of investigating agencies easier. ENDS.

I got it from an authoritative source that we all need register afresh. It does not matter whether you are registered for MPESA etc.
I called Zain customer care yesterday and was told if I registered for Zap, I don't need to have my line registered again. Maybe that's with Zain only.

I think its a noble idea for the registration and i agree with Brainiac, these cost will reach us, the end users. An example Look at the MPesa registration it is semi automated and "physical id verification" is unavoidable. Can we be protected as they do this process, as it is now our data will be out there at the mercy of the integrity of these providers.

They have been collecting this data without legislation on privacy yet we don't fret over the same. The option we've been given is: register or be 'off the grid'

Alternatively, download the form if available online, covert it into word, input your info, print and drop it at your service provider!

Nairobi, June 23, 2010...Leading communications firm Safaricom has clarified that it's M-PESA and PostPay customers do not have to register their lines afresh under the SIM card registration directive currently being implemented in the country.

With M-PESA commanding about 10 million subscribers, this announcement is expected to be a major reprieve for the firm's customers. It means that out of a total subscriber roll of over 15 million, only about 5 million are required to register under the presidential directive.
Safaricom had already kicked off the registration process at it's over 31 Safaricom Retail Centers countrywide following the Government directive requiring all mobile phone SIM cards to be registered by end of July 2010. Subscribers can also register their details at 2,500 Safaricom dealer outlets and 1,600 M-PESA agents countrywide.
Under the new rules, users are required to give their postal and physical address, date of birth and alternative phone numbers, besides their names and identity cards. The directive also applies to those buying new SIM cards.
Safaricom Chief Executive Officer Michael Joseph, is now urging all Safaricom subscribers to visit the company's retail outlets and other registration points countrywide to have their SIM cards registered.
"We have put in place all the necessary measures to ensure a smooth process. Besides our Retail Centers, dealers and M-PESA agents have also been mobilized and sensitized to assist in this important process. They can also download the registration form from our website <http://www.safaricom.co.ke/> www.safaricom.co.ke <http://www.safaricom.co.ke/> or portal www.safaricom.com <http://www.safaricom.com/>, print it out and present the completed form at any of our registration centres. We are urging our subscribers not to wait till the last minute to register," he said.
Minors with SIM cards will be required to be accompanied by an adult, who will register as the owner of the card and the minor as the user. Subscribers are not supposed to pay any cash in order to get the forms and should report anyone asking for cash for the same.
On Monday, June 21, market regulator Communications Commission of Kenya, with the support of the country's four mobile operators launched a campaign for SIM card registration. This follows a presidential directive issued in July last year. The move was occasioned by widespread crime being perpetrated through mobile phone lines, and is expected to act as a deterrent, while making the work of investigating agencies easier.

This must have changed coz the official position as of the Monday was we need to register afresh. Infact they made all Customer Care reps say that. Looks like they have decided to just use the existing records. D On Thu, Jun 24, 2010 at 2:57 PM, Larry Madowo <larrymads@gmail.com> wrote:

Safaricom says M-PESA and PostPay customers exempt from SIM Card Registration, Urges Subscribers to Follow State Directive
Nairobi, June 23, 2010...Leading communications firm Safaricom has clarified that it's M-PESA and PostPay customers do not have to register their lines afresh under the SIM card registration directive currently being implemented in the country.
Even then, such customers may make time to verify their details as received and recorded by the firm.
The two services already require one's personal details to be registered when signing a contract with Safaricom, under the Know Your Customer (KYC) and other prudential rules which have always been strictly enforced by Safaricom.
With M-PESA commanding about 10 million subscribers, this announcement is expected to be a major reprieve for the firm's customers. It means that out of a total subscriber roll of over 15 million, only about 5 million are required to register under the presidential directive.
Safaricom had already kicked off the registration process at it's over 31 Safaricom Retail Centers countrywide following the Government directive requiring all mobile phone SIM cards to be registered by end of July 2010. Subscribers can also register their details at 2,500 Safaricom dealer outlets and 1,600 M-PESA agents countrywide.
Under the new rules, users are required to give their postal and physical address, date of birth and alternative phone numbers, besides their names and identity cards. The directive also applies to those buying new SIM cards.
Safaricom Chief Executive Officer Michael Joseph, is now urging all Safaricom subscribers to visit the company's retail outlets and other registration points countrywide to have their SIM cards registered.
"We have put in place all the necessary measures to ensure a smooth process. Besides our Retail Centers, dealers and M-PESA agents have also been mobilized and sensitized to assist in this important process. They can also download the registration form from our website <http://www.safaricom.co.ke/> www.safaricom.co.ke or portal www.safaricom.com, print it out and present the completed form at any of our registration centres. We are urging our subscribers not to wait till the last minute to register," he said.
Minors with SIM cards will be required to be accompanied by an adult, who will register as the owner of the card and the minor as the user. Subscribers are not supposed to pay any cash in order to get the forms and should report anyone asking for cash for the same.
On Monday, June 21, market regulator Communications Commission of Kenya, with the support of the country's four mobile operators launched a campaign for SIM card registration. This follows a presidential directive issued in July last year. The move was occasioned by widespread crime being perpetrated through mobile phone lines, and is expected to act as a deterrent, while making the work of investigating agencies easier.

Is anyone aware if post paid lines belonging to registered companies whose details including physical addresses are known and registered with the provider required to do the registration. On 6/24/2010 3:49 PM, David Njuguna wrote:
This must have changed coz the official position as of the Monday was we need to register afresh. Infact they made all Customer Care reps say that. Looks like they have decided to just use the existing records.

David,
Your source is not authoritative enough. This is a press release out of Safaricom today.
From: "Rodgers Wabito" <rodgers@ginadin.com <mailto:rodgers@ginadin.com>> Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2010 11:15:05 To: <rodgers@ginadin.com <mailto:rodgers@ginadin.com>> Subject: Safaricom says M-PESA and PostPay customers exempt from SIM Card Registration,
Safaricom says M-PESA and PostPay customers exempt from SIM Card Registration, Urges Subscribers to Follow State Directive
Nairobi, June 23, 2010...Leading communications firm Safaricom has clarified that it's M-PESA and PostPay customers do not have to register their lines afresh under the SIM card registration directive currently being implemented in the country.
Even then, such customers may make time to verify their details as received and recorded by the firm.
The two services already require one's personal details to be registered when signing a contract with Safaricom, under the Know Your Customer (KYC) and other prudential rules which have always been strictly enforced by Safaricom.
With M-PESA commanding about 10 million subscribers, this announcement is expected to be a major reprieve for the firm's customers. It means that out of a total subscriber roll of over 15 million, only about 5 million are required to register under the presidential directive.
Safaricom had already kicked off the registration process at it's over 31 Safaricom Retail Centers countrywide following the Government directive requiring all mobile phone SIM cards to be registered by end of July 2010. Subscribers can also register their details at 2,500 Safaricom dealer outlets and 1,600 M-PESA agents countrywide.
Under the new rules, users are required to give their postal and physical address, date of birth and alternative phone numbers, besides their names and identity cards. The directive also applies to those buying new SIM cards.
Safaricom Chief Executive Officer Michael Joseph, is now urging all Safaricom subscribers to visit the company's retail outlets and other registration points countrywide to have their SIM cards registered.
"We have put in place all the necessary measures to ensure a smooth process. Besides our Retail Centers, dealers and M-PESA agents have also been mobilized and sensitized to assist in this important process. They can also download the registration form from our website <http://www.safaricom.co.ke/> www.safaricom.co.ke <http://www.safaricom.co.ke/> or portal www.safaricom.com <http://www.safaricom.com/>, print it out and present the completed form at any of our registration centres. We are urging our subscribers not to wait till the last minute to register," he said.
Minors with SIM cards will be required to be accompanied by an adult, who will register as the owner of the card and the minor as the user. Subscribers are not supposed to pay any cash in order to get the forms and should report anyone asking for cash for the same.
On Monday, June 21, market regulator Communications Commission of Kenya, with the support of the country's four mobile operators launched a campaign for SIM card registration. This follows a presidential directive issued in July last year. The move was occasioned by widespread crime being perpetrated through mobile phone lines, and is expected to act as a deterrent, while making the work of investigating agencies easier.
ENDS.

Zain sent me a text message the other day telling me that as a Post paid and a Zap user, I need not to register my lines, as they already had my details when I became a Post Paid user and Zap 'compliant.' I can't give you details about the other networks! On 05/07/2010, James Kagwe <kagwejg@gmail.com> wrote:

This must have changed coz the official position as of the Monday was we need to register afresh. Infact they made all Customer Care reps say that. Looks like they have decided to just use the existing records.

David,
Your source is not authoritative enough. This is a press release out of Safaricom today.
From: "Rodgers Wabito" <rodgers@ginadin.com <mailto:rodgers@ginadin.com>> Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2010 11:15:05 To: <rodgers@ginadin.com <mailto:rodgers@ginadin.com>> Subject: Safaricom says M-PESA and PostPay customers exempt from SIM Card Registration,
Safaricom says M-PESA and PostPay customers exempt from SIM Card Registration, Urges Subscribers to Follow State Directive
Nairobi, June 23, 2010...Leading communications firm Safaricom has clarified that it's M-PESA and PostPay customers do not have to register their lines afresh under the SIM card registration directive currently being implemented in the country.
Even then, such customers may make time to verify their details as received and recorded by the firm.
The two services already require one's personal details to be registered when signing a contract with Safaricom, under the Know Your Customer (KYC) and other prudential rules which have always been strictly enforced by Safaricom.
With M-PESA commanding about 10 million subscribers, this announcement is expected to be a major reprieve for the firm's customers. It means that out of a total subscriber roll of over 15 million, only about 5 million are required to register under the presidential directive.
Safaricom had already kicked off the registration process at it's over 31 Safaricom Retail Centers countrywide following the Government directive requiring all mobile phone SIM cards to be registered by end of July 2010. Subscribers can also register their details at 2,500 Safaricom dealer outlets and 1,600 M-PESA agents countrywide.
Under the new rules, users are required to give their postal and physical address, date of birth and alternative phone numbers, besides their names and identity cards. The directive also applies to those buying new SIM cards.
Safaricom Chief Executive Officer Michael Joseph, is now urging all Safaricom subscribers to visit the company's retail outlets and other registration points countrywide to have their SIM cards registered.
"We have put in place all the necessary measures to ensure a smooth process. Besides our Retail Centers, dealers and M-PESA agents have also been mobilized and sensitized to assist in this important process. They can also download the registration form from our website <http://www.safaricom.co.ke/> www.safaricom.co.ke <http://www.safaricom.co.ke/> or portal www.safaricom.com <http://www.safaricom.com/>, print it out and present the completed form at any of our registration centres. We are urging our subscribers not to wait till the last minute to register," he said.
Minors with SIM cards will be required to be accompanied by an adult, who will register as the owner of the card and the minor as the user. Subscribers are not supposed to pay any cash in order to get the forms and should report anyone asking for cash for the same.
On Monday, June 21, market regulator Communications Commission of Kenya, with the support of the country's four mobile operators launched a campaign for SIM card registration. This follows a presidential directive issued in July last year. The move was occasioned by widespread crime being perpetrated through mobile phone lines, and is expected to act as a deterrent, while making the work of investigating agencies easier.
ENDS.

This must have changed coz the official position as of the Monday was we need to register afresh. Infact they made all Customer Care reps say that. Looks like they have decided to just use the existing records.

David,
Your source is not authoritative enough. This is a press release out of Safaricom today.
From: "Rodgers Wabito" <rodgers@ginadin.com <mailto:rodgers@ginadin.com>> Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2010 11:15:05 To: <rodgers@ginadin.com <mailto:rodgers@ginadin.com>> Subject: Safaricom says M-PESA and PostPay customers exempt from SIM Card Registration,
Safaricom says M-PESA and PostPay customers exempt from SIM Card Registration, Urges Subscribers to Follow State Directive
Nairobi, June 23, 2010...Leading communications firm Safaricom has clarified that it's M-PESA and PostPay customers do not have to register their lines afresh under the SIM card registration directive currently being implemented in the country.
Even then, such customers may make time to verify their details as received and recorded by the firm.
The two services already require one's personal details to be registered when signing a contract with Safaricom, under the Know Your Customer (KYC) and other prudential rules which have always been strictly enforced by Safaricom.
With M-PESA commanding about 10 million subscribers, this announcement is expected to be a major reprieve for the firm's customers. It means that out of a total subscriber roll of over 15 million, only about 5 million are required to register under the presidential directive.
Safaricom had already kicked off the registration process at it's over 31 Safaricom Retail Centers countrywide following the Government directive requiring all mobile phone SIM cards to be registered by end of July 2010. Subscribers can also register their details at 2,500 Safaricom dealer outlets and 1,600 M-PESA agents countrywide.
Under the new rules, users are required to give their postal and physical address, date of birth and alternative phone numbers, besides their names and identity cards. The directive also applies to those buying new SIM cards.
Safaricom Chief Executive Officer Michael Joseph, is now urging all Safaricom subscribers to visit the company's retail outlets and other registration points countrywide to have their SIM cards registered.
"We have put in place all the necessary measures to ensure a smooth process. Besides our Retail Centers, dealers and M-PESA agents have also been mobilized and sensitized to assist in this important process. They can also download the registration form from our website <http://www.safaricom.co.ke/> www.safaricom.co.ke <http://www.safaricom.co.ke/> or portal www.safaricom.com <http://www.safaricom.com/>, print it out and present the completed form at any of our registration centres. We are urging our subscribers not to wait till the last minute to register," he said.
Minors with SIM cards will be required to be accompanied by an adult, who will register as the owner of the card and the minor as the user. Subscribers are not supposed to pay any cash in order to get the forms and should report anyone asking for cash for the same.
On Monday, June 21, market regulator Communications Commission of Kenya, with the support of the country's four mobile operators launched a campaign for SIM card registration. This follows a presidential directive issued in July last year. The move was occasioned by widespread crime being perpetrated through mobile phone lines, and is expected to act as a deterrent, while making the work of investigating agencies easier.
ENDS.

David,

Safaricom says M-PESA and PostPay customers exempt from SIM Card Registration, Urges Subscribers to Follow State Directive
Nairobi, June 23, 2010...Leading communications firm Safaricom has clarified that it's M-PESA and PostPay customers do not have to register their lines afresh under the SIM card registration directive currently being implemented in the country.
Even then, such customers may make time to verify their details as received and recorded by the firm.
The two services already require one's personal details to be registered when signing a contract with Safaricom, under the Know Your Customer (KYC) and other prudential rules which have always been strictly enforced by Safaricom.
With M-PESA commanding about 10 million subscribers, this announcement is expected to be a major reprieve for the firm's customers. It means that out of a total subscriber roll of over 15 million, only about 5 million are required to register under the presidential directive.
Safaricom had already kicked off the registration process at it's over 31 Safaricom Retail Centers countrywide following the Government directive requiring all mobile phone SIM cards to be registered by end of July 2010. Subscribers can also register their details at 2,500 Safaricom dealer outlets and 1,600 M-PESA agents countrywide.
Under the new rules, users are required to give their postal and physical address, date of birth and alternative phone numbers, besides their names and identity cards. The directive also applies to those buying new SIM cards.
Safaricom Chief Executive Officer Michael Joseph, is now urging all Safaricom subscribers to visit the company's retail outlets and other registration points countrywide to have their SIM cards registered.
"We have put in place all the necessary measures to ensure a smooth process. Besides our Retail Centers, dealers and M-PESA agents have also been mobilized and sensitized to assist in this important process. They can also download the registration form from our website <http://www.safaricom.co.ke/> www.safaricom.co.ke <http://www.safaricom.co.ke/> or portal www.safaricom.com<http://www.safaricom.com/>, print it out and present the completed form at any of our registration centres. We are urging our subscribers not to wait till the last minute to register," he said.
Minors with SIM cards will be required to be accompanied by an adult, who will register as the owner of the card and the minor as the user. Subscribers are not supposed to pay any cash in order to get the forms and should report anyone asking for cash for the same.
On Monday, June 21, market regulator Communications Commission of Kenya, with the support of the country's four mobile operators launched a campaign for SIM card registration. This follows a presidential directive issued in July last year. The move was occasioned by widespread crime being perpetrated through mobile phone lines, and is expected to act as a deterrent, while making the work of investigating agencies easier.
ENDS.

This must have changed coz the official position as of the Monday was we need to register afresh. Infact they made all Customer Care reps say that. Looks like they have decided to just use the existing records.

David,
Your source is not authoritative enough. This is a press release out of Safaricom today.

Safaricom says M-PESA and PostPay customers exempt from SIM Card Registration, Urges Subscribers to Follow State Directive
Nairobi, June 23, 2010...Leading communications firm Safaricom has clarified that it's M-PESA and PostPay customers do not have to register their lines afresh under the SIM card registration directive currently being implemented in the country.
Even then, such customers may make time to verify their details as received and recorded by the firm.
The two services already require one's personal details to be registered when signing a contract with Safaricom, under the Know Your Customer (KYC) and other prudential rules which have always been strictly enforced by Safaricom.
With M-PESA commanding about 10 million subscribers, this announcement is expected to be a major reprieve for the firm's customers. It means that out of a total subscriber roll of over 15 million, only about 5 million are required to register under the presidential directive.
Safaricom had already kicked off the registration process at it's over 31 Safaricom Retail Centers countrywide following the Government directive requiring all mobile phone SIM cards to be registered by end of July 2010. Subscribers can also register their details at 2,500 Safaricom dealer outlets and 1,600 M-PESA agents countrywide.
Under the new rules, users are required to give their postal and physical address, date of birth and alternative phone numbers, besides their names and identity cards. The directive also applies to those buying new SIM cards.
Safaricom Chief Executive Officer Michael Joseph, is now urging all Safaricom subscribers to visit the company's retail outlets and other registration points countrywide to have their SIM cards registered.
"We have put in place all the necessary measures to ensure a smooth process. Besides our Retail Centers, dealers and M-PESA agents have also been mobilized and sensitized to assist in this important process. They can also download the registration form from our website <http://www.safaricom.co.ke/> www.safaricom.co.ke <http://www.safaricom.co.ke/> or portal www.safaricom.com<http://www.safaricom.com/>, print it out and present the completed form at any of our registration centres. We are urging our subscribers not to wait till the last minute to register," he said.
Minors with SIM cards will be required to be accompanied by an adult, who will register as the owner of the card and the minor as the user. Subscribers are not supposed to pay any cash in order to get the forms and should report anyone asking for cash for the same.
On Monday, June 21, market regulator Communications Commission of Kenya, with the support of the country's four mobile operators launched a campaign for SIM card registration. This follows a presidential directive issued in July last year. The move was occasioned by widespread crime being perpetrated through mobile phone lines, and is expected to act as a deterrent, while making the work of investigating agencies easier.
ENDS.
