Non-tax-compliant mobile phones will be blocked from accessing the national network from next year, the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) has said, as the government seeks to mop up elusive revenue.
The industry regulator said that starting January 2025, tax compliance information on all mobile phones imported or assembled from November 2024 will be a prerequisite for their registration in the national master database and subsequent connection to local networks in order for them to be usable.
