The deadline for submitting comments on the drafted Consumer Protection Bill has been extended.

The Ministry of Industrialisation and Trade moved the new date from the 25th of October to the 25th of November this year.

1.6 million SIM cards have been registered across the country as of last month. 

Individuals who have not yet registered their cards are given a 15-day window to do so.

There will be no extension to the registration of SIM cards. There are only two weeks left, and once the deadline hits, service providers will suspend the numbers of all unregistered subscribers.
