@Gachungi, Lydia you are safe. It has been clarified here in this article.Excerpts:Different reports gave contradicting information in regard to who is supposed to register his or her SIM card, with certain quarters claiming it’s the entire telecommunications market, while other quarters stating that only the unlisted customers should seek registration.“The Communications Authority did not order the telecommunications companies to register all SIM card holders afresh,” Chiloba exclusively told The Standard.Chiloba said the telecommunications companies that asked all Kenyans to re-register their lines, were “overzealous”, saying: “That’s not what we asked them to do.”The Director-General says the mobile service providers opted for a knee-jerk reaction after CA demanded that all the service providers must provide updated lists of all their registered customers by April 15, 2022.On Sat, Apr 9, 2022 at 12:19 AM Gachungi, Lydia via KICTANet <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:_______________________________________________Good people, so what is the current position?. Asking from Addis and wondering since my sim card was already registered and when I dial *106# it verifies I am registered, do I need to re-register?
Kind regards

Gobsmaked in deed 💯
The CA has finally stated today that kica SIM registration regs does not require photo of subscriber to be taken
Full interview on Youtube here https://youtu.be/-SpW2rFhYxQ
Meaning then if you ever registered, you will not need to re-register. Because photograph was the only missing link that was never taken in previous initial registration
