Will the Registration Deadline be extended?

With only three days to go, most Kenyans are without any pressure to register their SIMs. As a matter of fact, most will learn of it when they are eventually switched of from the network. Anyway, its quite a challenging deadline to beat, both for the operators and the subscribers. Good to learn that more people are now downloading the registration forms from the respective operator websites and dropping them with the other required credentials at the operator offices. Questions is, when will all these forms be validated and entered into the database? It may take quite some time but we should not rely on that (for those of us who have not bothered)

Apparently, there is no legal backing for the punishment of the offenders of the exercise because the necessary legislation has not been passed yet. This means that the unregistered  subscribers cannot be switched off, at least until the parliament discusses the matter (note that they are currently on recess until next month).

Otherwise it has been reported that Safaricom has already registered 70% percent while all the other operators have registered below half their subscribers. This reminds me of people who have several SIM cards who would definitely find it cumbersome to register separately with different operators and may have decided to abandon their SIM cards.
