[Grace Githaiga]

Yawe, is this a case where we should ask the intermediary to take responsibility and make the necessary refunds?

Hi,

We all wish the headline in tomorrows paper would be "KeBS to refund fake owners" as to the best of my knowledge they are mandated and funded by the tax payer to make sure that the items that come into the country meet certain required usage and safety standards.

Evert time I import IT items I am charged a fee for KeBS certification what do they do with the money collected if millions of fake (no IMEI numbers) mobile phones, many of which where shipped in container loads, passed right under their nooses.

As with most issues we have a tendency of barking up the wrong tree, suing CCK is dealing with a symptom instead of dealing with the core problem which is a standards body that does no work, its time we re-outsourced the function.
