Safaricom has today introduced changes to the prices of SIM Cards and phones.
It will now cost you a total 100 shillings to buy and register a Safaricom SIM card, from the previous cost of 50 shillings.
This follows the introduction of a 50 shilling excise duty on imported ready-to-use SIM cards through the 2022 Finance Act.
Phones sold by Safaricom will also cost more, to reflect a 10 per cent excise duty on the importation of cellular phones.
The new prices will also reflect a 25 percent import duty on phones contained in the East African Community Common External Tariff.
