The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) has proposed to introduce a new licence for courier-hailing firms that will see them pay Sh100,000 for permits as the government seeks to grow revenues from the fast-growing market for home and office deliveries.

The proposal by CA will also see the online-based delivery service firms such as Glovo, Uber and Little pay at least Sh100,000 or 0.4 percent of their annual gross turnover or whichever is higher in annual operating fees.
