The High Court has absolved mobile service provider Safaricom from blame in an online identity theft case.
Boniface Wangai Wachira sued the telco over claims that his national identification card was used to register for a loan that was never repaid.
Wachira blamed Safaricom for illegally using his data to register the line without his authority.
He argued that he was listed as a loan defaulter despite a third party being the beneficiary of the loan.
