    "content": "(i) Regulation of imports: The Government through the Communication Authority of Kenya (CA) undertakes an assessment of communication devices including mobile phones on whether they meet the national/international standards and inter-operability within other ICT systems in Kenya. This is done by issuance of type-approval and type- acceptance process. Similarly, though no Kenyan original standard is currently in place for Android phones, it is a requirement that all mobile phones imported are inspected using international standards such as International Electro-Technical Commission (IEC) standards and issued with certificate of conformity. (ii) Software solutions - In cases where the problem is software-based, vendors normally solve the problem through software reloads and upgrades. Samsung has set up a regional office and training centre in Kenya and a critical mass of technicians are being trained. (iii) The Ministry of Information, Communications and Technology through the Anti-Counterfeit Authority is running a programme to sensitize the public against purchase and use of counterfeit goods. The institution (CA) is also being strengthened to seize and destroy counterfeit goods. Similarly, the public is strongly advised to send, via SMS, the serial number of the mobile device referred to as, IMEI, to mobile code 1555 upon which they receive in return a confirmation in terms of the model and manufacture’s details in respect of the device. If these details match with the actual set at hand, chances are then high that the device is genuine. 4) In line with the Legal Notice No.78 of the Pre-Export Verification Conformity, all imported mobile phones including Samsung Android, are in the list and therefore subject to inspection at the source and if compliant with the relevant international standards, are issued with the Certificate of Conformity if you were stopped from shipment to Kenya. I beg to submit the Statement. Thank you."
