Broadcasting and Telecommunications Principal Secretary (PS) Stephen Osaboke on Monday, March 23 attended the opening session of the 11th Pan African Postal Union (PAPU) Plenipotentiary Conference in Kampala, Uganda.

The conference, which commenced Monday, has convened member states and key stakeholders to deliberate on strategic, policy, and technological priorities shaping the future of postal services across the continent.

This high-level gathering serves as the supreme governing organ of PAPU—a specialized agency of the African Union—and convenes every four years to determine the strategic direction of Africa’s postal sector. 

This year’s theme for the conference is; “Leveraging Digital Technology and Innovation to Create a Smart Postal Sector in Africa: Unlocking Opportunities to Strengthen the African Postal Sector for Boosting Regional Integration”.

Thereafter, PS Isaboke joined fellow Heads of Delegation in a closed-door meeting to deliberate on key PAPU matters.

Kenya continues to actively participate through the various Administrative and Technical Committees, reaffirming its commitment to strengthening regional cooperation, fostering innovation, and advancing the transformation of postal services in Africa.
