[kictanet] KeBS to re-emburse fake phone owners

[James Mbugua]

As far as I know, the government did its best including postponing
this process and also giving a three-month grace period for people to
comply.

That is what is called good governance.

Now, anyone who was affected has only themselves to blame.
