Communications Authority of Kenya recently issued a directive to subscribers with unregistered Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) cards to register their sim cards, by April lest their connections and services will be cut off from their preferred service providers.(SAFARICOM, AIRTEL AND TELCOM).
The Authority noted that, unregistered simcards are being used by criminals to spearhead illegal activities. Airtel responded positively to the Authority and it has rolled out online self sim registration update for their subscribers.
