Hi Solomon, I am open to scrutiny, the problem with the rejected candidates for the anti-corruption office is more a fact that they are perceived as being effective due to the information they will have access to such as the KRA databases in addition he failed to collect as collecting by auctioning off the organisation would have killed a tax payer and left many Kenyan's jobless thus who took the lesser evil, but that is besides the point. The Post Master General is a very mundane post that will actually be a waste of time to expect members of parliament to spend time with the recruitment. The PMG is not even a voting member of the board of directors of the corporation which makes him a mere manager. Every post office has a post master and the post master general is the chief post master and normally the post would be filled by one of the other post masters without the need for external vetting, so stop looking at the post like it was the Commissioner General of KRA. It makes no sense to want to vet the PMG yet the people with the power, BOD, are not vetted I think we are barking up the wrong tree. Solomon, what do you think are the indications of one being ethical and which academic and non-academic qualifications are required to fill the post of Post Master General?

I have been silently following the 'self-campaign' by one Robert Yawe in his quest of becoming the Post Master General, at Postal Corporation of Kenya. I have also noticed the passionate he has of reviving this important agency back to where it was in yesteryears. This passion, I can state, comes as a result of mass wastage the organization does; not changing with times, has more workers but less output, corruption and perhaps political interference. Now, as long as PCK remains a state-run corporation, the PMG, must be someone who is bound by various laws, notably Public Officers Ethics Act etc. In line with this, Bw. Yawe, how does your qualification (Academic & non-academic) relate well with Chapter 6 of the Constitution? PS: Remember our MPs the other day turned down some nominees because they considered them 'impassionate' yet qualified.
