Bolt eyes Mombasa, Kakamega with parcel delivery services

Ride-hailing and delivery startup Bolt plans to introduce its parcel delivery service in Mombasa and Kakamega, among other towns, as part of an expansion drive to capitalise on the growing e-commerce industry.

The service dubbed Bolt Send, which operates in Nairobi, has been integrated into the existing Bolt app for customers to request deliveries the same way they book rides. The parcels are picked up and dropped off by vetted driver-partners.
