Kenya Champions Regional Postal Cooperation at PAPU

Kenya has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening regional cooperation and advancing a modern, integrated postal sector at the 11th Pan African Postal Union Plenipotentiary Conference in Kampala, Uganda.

While delivering remarks on behalf of the Government of Kenya, Principal Secretary Stephen Isaboke underscored the importance of deeper collaboration, innovation and inclusive growth in shaping the future of Africa’s postal sector.

In his address, made during the Kenya Reception on the sidelines of the Conference, PS Isaboke highlighted Kenya’s active role within PAPU, including its service on the Administrative Council and current leadership of the Policy and Regulation Committee, which has overseen the adoption and implementation of key legal instruments strengthening the sector’s regulatory framework.

The PS took the opportunity to seek support for our re-election to the PAPU Administrative Council for the 2026–2030 term, highlighting Kenya’s role in advancing policy and regulatory frameworks, and ongoing efforts to modernise the Postal Corporation of Kenya through digital innovation, e-government services and expanded logistics capabilities.

He noted Kenya’s ambition to position itself as a regional postal and e-commerce hub and invited delegates to the Connected Africa Summit 2026 in Nairobi, from the 27th to the 30th of April 2026.
