POSTA Uganda has announced it is going to extend its services to be able to reach the majority of households in Uganda.
POSTA Uganda’s sales and marketing manager, Wilfred Musinguzi, says the communications company is set to install post office boxes at different households as one of the new measures to increase access of Ugandans to postal services.
Musinguzi says some of the first households to benefit from this project are those found in organised housing estates around the country.
He says the initiative will be completed in five years time. Speaking in an interview with Ultimate Media, Musinguzi said the project will start in Kampala, Wakiso, Mukono and Entebbe before it is rolled out across the country.
He says the installation of postal boxes on each house costs 180,000 shillings. Musinguzi says the households that will receive POSTA services will be paying the above money in instalments.
POSTA Uganda known by Ugandans as the company that delivers letters has been under immense pressure to improve and innovate its services in the face of new technologies like mobile phones, email and Internet, which have decreased the need for letter communication by many people.
