Chiloba says SIM card registration has nothing to do with elections

NAIROBI, Kenya Apr 10 – The ongoing SIM card validation is mandatory for all users and has nothing to do with elections.

He however, clarified that anyone who confirms through *106# that their Identity Card is registered on their lines, does not need to register afresh but is required to submit their ID, Photo details to the mobile operators.
