The government plans to reserve services of mails weighing up to 350 grammes and letterbox services to the Postal Corporation of Kenya. The ICT ministry says that this will be a way to make Posta post profits, citing the infiltration of unlicensed players in the market, mainly the transport industry. Should the proposal be executed, a number of courier service providers and transporters will have to deal with only cargo above 350g. The Joe Mucheru-led ministry, in response to a petition by Posta workers, said this will go a long way to turnaround PCK fortunes and pay dividends to the Exchequer. The ICT ministry also bid for Posta to be appointed the preferred clearing and forwarding agent and logistics service provider for state entities.
