I disagree that the directive on SIM does not have the legal backing. Indeed the law since the days of KPTC obligates the operator to maintain a directory of its subscribers. This is clearly stated in section 23 of the current Communications Act. Further the new constitution has a bill of rights which limits individual rights that contravene rights of the majority. More than 90 percent of subscribers have registered on voluntary basis. You cannot have the rights of a small group of people jeopadise rights of the majority. We shall have legal scholars enterpret this while we revise the law to make clearly mandatory for every subscriber to register. Ndemo.
