SIM card registration a welcome move

THE Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Agency (RURA) has fixed July 31, 2013 as the deadline for all mobile phone subscribers to have their SIM cards registered. The six-month exercise kicks off on February 4.This is a timely move which should be supported by all stakeholders.   Registration involves the collection of subscribers’ personal information and will enable national security agencies to trace crimes and lawlessness perpetuated using mobile phones.
