[kictanet] Your phone landing in the wrong hands could get you six months in jail

[Mildred Achoch]

Thank you Grace.

“In case you lose of your SIM card, report to the nearest police station
and demand an abstract."

 My question is: could this reporting process be digitalized? Probably,
hundreds, if not thousands, of SIM cards are lost every day all over the
country. The option of reporting lost SIM cards via sms or online would be
very welcomed.

Regards,
Mildred Achoch.
