BotswanaPost seeks tariff increase

BotswanaPost has engaged government in seeking approval for an upward review of its postal tariffs which it says are the lowest in the region.

In the 2009 annual report, BotswanaPost chief executive, Pele Moleta says that profit targets could not be achieved with tariff levels remaining at suboptimal levels after having been last reviewed in 2006.

Moleta said: "It is desirable that tariff adjustments be made annually to avoid price shocks from once off tariff rebalancing exercises, thus negatively affecting the gains made with various stakeholders and other government objectives."
