Fake phones,illégal simcards and un seriousness of Uganda communication commission,Uganda national bureau of standards,carelessness of telecom companies..are making the work of crime investigation too tidious

For a long Time,i have been writing about thé issue of phones and this illégal simcards.Recently i remember writing about thé massive entry of Fake phones with Fake IMEI.it is hard to believe thisbut from around late july to mid October,there was massive importation of such phones in eastafrica and central Africa.The issue of simcards is still a great problème,illegally registres simcards are still being sold by various simcards vendors of whom some are Known by people are selling registered simcards and thèse simcards are sold to non ugandans and those who are apparrently dubious.And m'y question still stands as: Does UCC know this?Do thèse Telecom compagnies know that it is illégal to do such?....Thé only thing i can advise Telecom companies is that thé selling of simcards must bé by well Known and registered people and UCC must also register such people.How do simcards get registered in names of other people? I suspectes two scenerios of which i conclusively proved one.These people who do this registering of simcards get thé of national identity cards of REAL owners and  register thème on multiple simcards decieving thème that thé process is slow or that network is slow,thé Real owners will think that they are repeating thé same process on thé sale simcards yet they are registering another simcards,which they later sell  as already registered simcards.Every one can fall prêy to this trick although it is mainly thé old people and illiterate one who do fall prêy to this trick.
We,you and the rest may be taking this to be a simple issue but it is a problem to security more especially in the cases and during the course of investigations.we have and many know of the various kidnaps of people,and worse of it all of innocent children.it is annoying how such people do call parents of kidnapped kids asking for ransom,recently you heard of a kid who was killed just because of ransom of I hear"200000" Uganda shillings.Yes,the police can track and get such numbers but imagine if such a number is registered in names of a person who did not know that his identity card  was with another phone number.This makes the work of criminal investigation more hard and taking slot of time.with these Fake phones with Fake IMEI,am still on my research and am about to get to a final conclusion. Please ,UCC ,Police and UNBS wake up and fight this nonsense....let us wake up! You are making the work of security agencies to tough,you are making investigation become too costly in terms of time and information gathering..
