The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA), in conjunction with the National Police Service, extended its crackdown on unlicensed parcel and courier service providers to Mombasa, resulting in the arrest and arraignment of five individuals. This operation, focusing on enforcing legal compliance within the postal sector, follows a similar recent action in Nairobi.

• Five individuals were arrested and fined between Ksh10,000 and Ksh50,000 for operating without valid licenses.
• The crackdown, conducted on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, targeted businesses like Zahara Parcels and Courier, Maslah Parcel Services, Simba Parcel Services, and Mombasa Raha Bus Company.
• The CA urges all service providers to obtain necessary licenses and advises the public to use only licensed operators for consumer protection and sector growth.
