Statute overview

About this statute

This article creates the National Post Office (NPO) and says it has legal personality plus administrative and financial autonomy. NPO must keep its head office in Kigali City, but it may move it elsewhere in Rwanda if necessary. It may also open branches elsewhere in Rwanda and abroad if necessary, with approval by a Prime Minister’s Order. NPO must carry out listed postal-sector missions, including managing postal services, postal money orders and cheques, promoting postal service delivery, doing related studies and research, and handling compatible commercial or investment activities. The supervising authority and category of an NPO are set by a Prime Minister’s Order. The supervising authority and the NPO’s decision-making organ must conclude a performance contract, which lasts for the Board of Directors’ term. An NPO must have a Board of Directors and a Directorate General, and a Prime Minister’s Order may add other relevant organs.
