The government is looking at creating new revenue streams for the local postal service.
Minister without portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister, Dr. Dana Morris Dixon, say the introduction of new commercial activities can help government entities tap into new markets and ensure long-term sustainability.
She says while there may be concerns about the service moving in new areas of commercial activity, the risk must be taken, "as the traditional areas of postal activities are no longer viable”.
She says the postal services must adapt to digital changes.
