The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) has distanced itself from sections of the new regulations indicating the State’s intention to collect biometric data, including blood typing and fingerprinting and DNA for new SIM card registration.
The regulator reckons that the presence of biometric requirement in the revised regulations doesn’t indicate its intention to collect the personal data.
