It can also pose a threat to national security, environmental and health concerns. The Government will put in place mechanisms for combating postal crime. 6.7 PHILATELIC SERVICE The provision of philatelic services, which involve designing and issuing stamps, will remain an exclusive privilege of the PCK. Such services mirror the unique and varied nature of the Kenyan society, history, culture, heritage, institutions, flora, fauna, and events of outstanding national and international interest.
