[kictanet] Mobile sim registration

[Okech]

Hi all,
Several countries e.g Tanzania
have or are in the process of ensuring that all sim cards in their
jurisdiction are registered by the mobile operators who serve them. Of
course, one reason taunted for doing so is to help track criminals.
This indeed sounds a noble idea. However, it does result infringement
of peoples privacy especially owing to the fact that the investigators
may consult the mobile phone operators to get ones details without
their consent. Why must we allow this then?
