The Communications Authority of Kenya has rescinded an earlier directive ordering Kenyans to register their sim cards afresh.

CA Director General, Ezra Chiloba, stated that the directive applies to only those who have unregistered sim cards.

The u-turn by Chiloba and his team came just two days after he issued a warning that Kenyans who do not register their sim cards afresh would be fined Ksh300,000 or imprisoned for six months.

Chiloba set April 15 as the deadline for the re-registration of the SIM Cards. 

Following the CA threats, Kenyans expressed their dissatisfaction accusing the Communications Authority of failing to explain why they ought to register already registered sim cards.
