Sim Registration Deadline Extended

The deadline for the SIM card registration by six months.

The government Communications Authority resulted to this deadline extension, after statistics uncovered that a majority of Kenyans had failed to register their SIM cards by April 15. 

Chiloba held a meeting yesterday, Thursday, the 14th of April, with MNOs (the Mobile Network Operators) so as to assess the success rate of the exercise. 

"It is the responsibility of the operators who will advise on whether to switch off the unregistered lines or probably give an extension and allow as many Kenyans as possible to register," Chiloba said. 

Now Kenyans have up to until October 15, 2022 have their details updated, failure to which will result to a fine. 

Ezra maintained that the registration exercise was anchored in the constitution and mandates mobile Network Operators to do so. 

And in other today Friday 15th, Safaricom launched an online platform for registration of SIM cards.
