Kenya’s biggest telco Safaricom and the sector regulator are facing a second class action suit in four weeks after two senior advocates moved to court, accusing the firm of forcing subscribers to sign a data privacy statement that allows the company to collect bank account details.
Senior counsel Wilfred Nderitu and Charles Kanjama say in a case filed at the High Court that their SIM cards were suspended on October 15 and that they were forced to re-register to enjoy services and products offered by Safaricom.
