Court suspends CA, KRA notices on declaration of IMEI numbers » Capital News

NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 22 – The High Court has suspended notices by the Communications Authority and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) that required individuals entering Kenya to declare the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) of their devices.

This followed a suit by the Katiba Institute challenging the directive, citing constitutional concerns.

“A conservatory is hereby issued suspending implementation of the notice
issued by Communication Authority of Kenya on 24th October 2024 titled “Public Notice on enhancing tax compliance of mobile Devices in Kenya” as well as the subsequent notice by Kenya Revenue authority on 5th November 2024 until 18th December 2024,” Justice Chacha Mwita ruled.
