-Ad-The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) has introduced new regulations aimed at improving the integrity and tax compliance of mobile devices in the country. This measure will ensure that these devices meet tax compliance standards and are properly registered before entering the market. The CA will provide a verification mechanism that ensures retailers and consumers can easily check a device’s compliance status before purchase. Taxation is handled at customs, but there is no direct link between the device’s IMEI number and tax compliance like Kenya’s system. Privacy and Legitimacy Concerns:The process of registering every device’s IMEI number with the KRA raises privacy concerns.
