Kenya has retained its seat in the Universal Postal Union (UPU) council responsible for advancing
global standards for another four year term following its re-election by member states.

The country assumed the position as part of the the 48-member Postal Operations Council (POC) during
the 28th Universal Postal Congress in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

POC is the union’s technical and operational decision-making organ which is responsible for setting global
postal standards for member countries.

‘‘Another chance for Kenya at the POC means a trusted pair of hands, stability and a profound
responsibility, to continue serving the global postal community with resolve, and an unwavering
commitment to transformative progress,’’ said ICT and Digital Economy Cabinet Secretary William Kabogo.

Kenya joins other African countries including Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Tanzania, Tunisia, Seychelles,
Senegal, Guinea, Cape Verde, and Botswana who were also elected members of the council of the United
Nations agency for Postal Services.
