@Wash<br><br>Your assertion that we ought to read the fine print does not always hold true since few can appreciate T&Cs. I was out off town on Friday and I can assure you I interacted with may folks who were worried stiff of losing there phones due to the switch off. 90% of that number cannot understand any fine print! KeBS and other related bodies must do there jobs as consumer protection ought to be in the spirit of there work. <div>

If you bought this phone from a shop, take it back to them and lay a claim for indemnity, but read the fine print on the receipt they issued you with before you go back to them!<div class="HOEnZb">

<div><br>Hello Bobby,<br><br>The Kenyan border is quite porous - by design and I can tell you that there is very little you, as Bobby, can do to change that, because it is as difficult as fighting the Mafia - or come closer home, the hard drug menace.<br>
There are so many vested interests which make the border porous and this starts with the Border Agency officers and goes along top include the security officers, because at the top of the pyramid is a well-connected fellow. If you stop his merchandise from coming in, there are two possible scenarios: Either you get transferred or eliminated if you become a thorn in the flesh. That is why there is no reason to blame KEBS, because they don't quite police the borders - it isn't their mandate! Theirs is to verify/certify.<br>
You must be quite naive (kidding!) to expect KEBS to control imports sanctioned by fat cats<LOL> when they can't even enforce standards on foodstuff found in our supermarkets!<br><br><br><br><div>

<div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif">Hi,<br><br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
