Puntland Needs A Postal Service

[DR OSMAN]

I have always wondered why Puntland hasn't begun this necessary logistic capability? How Hard is it to create a Few storage and processing Warehouses In Bosaso-Galkacyo-Garowe and then set up trucking companies to deliver to regional towns-villages and courier business to deliver within Major towns. This will help facilitate trade also from the diaspora and even within Somalia. We eventually can set up a Puntland Postal Offices in Hargeisa, Mogadishu, Kismayo and make sure any item/product/good can be sent to Puntland or from Puntland to those markets.

This will also enable our tech start up space to begin new online companies where people can purchase products-goods across Puntland or existing companies can expand to an online presence and having a wider market space.

This would be one of the big important legacy works I would leave behind for Puntland if i was president, it will allow tech space to boom, it will allow our local companies to have an online presence to target customers nation wide. Our GDP would grow big time. Our trucking sector would boom, our airlines transportation would boom, our local couriers would boom with work.

Revitalize Postal Service – MOITT

The Postal Service is a key department within the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications and Technology (MPTT).​

Historically, the Somali Postal Service had 100 post offices, with a total staff between 1,665 to 2,165. The Postal Service provided mail and parcels from various domestic and international destinations.​

In early 1991, the national postal infrastructure was destroyed during the civil war, with Somali Postal Service officially suspending operations in October 1991. Residents subsequently had to turn to traditional methods of dispatching parcels and letters. They also communicated via handwritten letters sent through acquaintances and mobile and email messaging services.​

In order to fill the vacuum, the Postal Service later officially re-launched on 1 November 2013, in partnership with Emirates Post to process mail to and from Somalia through Emirates Post’s mail transit hub at the Dubai International Airport.​

Somali Post was member on International Postal Union (IPU) since 1959.​

Puntland Postal Service (PPS): This should be a private company which operates from Bosaaso as its HQ, with postmasters and post offices in Badhan, Qardho, Garowe, Burtinle, Galdogob, Galkacyo, with a sole driver who travels to coastal from Qandala to Aluula to Bayla to Eyl to Gara'ad.
