Monopoly Blocks Private Market Entry

This provision grants Ghana Post exclusive rights to convey letters, postcards, printed matters, and small parcels, creating a statutory monopoly that prevents private operators from competing independently in these service categories. Private businesses can only participate as subcontractors to Ghana Post under Section 27, not as independent competitors. This approach exceeds typical regulatory practice in modern democracies, which generally allow competition while imposing universal service obligations on designated providers, rather than granting full monopoly rights.
