Communications Authority raids unlicensed courier service providers in Nairobi

The Communications Authority of Kenya has shut down several unlicensed parcel and courier service providers in Eastleigh, Nairobi, in a joint operation with the National Police Service.

Parcels, receipts and consignment books were seized as evidence, while suspects were detained at California Police Station ahead of their arraignment at the Makadara Law Courts.

The crackdown netted eight companies including Al-Safa Parcel Services, Falcon Fastforward, Turkana Parcel Services and Ramadhan Parcel.

The regulator has urged businesses offering courier services to obtain the necessary licenses and cautioned the public to use only approved operators to ensure safe and reliable delivery.
