From 2025 on visitors to Kenya must declare the IMEI of their phone at entry!! With this obligatory declaration Kenyan authorities can track everyone in realtime.

The IMEI is the unique identifier of your device, you can not change it. As soon as you use a SIM card / or eSim - these have their own unique IDs as well, which then are associated with your IMEI. This is a global standard.
