Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) wants a class action against the regulator and Safaricom on SIM card registration that allows the telco to collect bank details of mobile phone users dismissed, arguing that the matter is premature.

CA says in reply to the petition filed by two lawyers over the SIM registration exercise, which was conducted last year that such disputes should be handled by the regulator, hence moving to the High Court was premature.
