Edwin, I believe your company does outsourcing work, i have gone through your website and that is the indication that am getting not sure though. We are engaded in marketing Kenya as a world class ITES location and one of the flags that we raise is "a large talent pool" where is this talent pool coming from? graduates from other universities outside Kenya or here? Would you pull this to an investor And going by the recent quality of our graduates (not to belittle our universities any manner), I would go for experience and strategy before anything else meaning even the graduates you employ at your company should not be there and if there is, your company should not be marketed as a call center. Leadership requires intiution first, peppered by academics then salted by "being adequately socialised" Regards, Sam ________________________________ From: Edwin Onchari <eonchari@lynxbits.com> To: saguyo@yahoo.com Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> Sent: Tue, November 9, 2010 9:23:25 AM Subject: Re: [kictanet] Yawe for Post Master General And going by the recent quality of our graduates (not to belittle our universities any manner), I would go for experience and strategy before anything else Edwin From:kictanet-bounces+eonchari=lynxbits.com@lists.kictanet.or.ke [mailto:kictanet-bounces+eonchari=lynxbits.com@lists.kictanet.or.ke] On Behalf Of Rad!

We could also look at what have the candidates achieved prior to coming to PCK. What businesses & institutions have they nurtured/grown?

Sir Richard Branson - O'Level I do not want to belittle paper qualifications but they work when you are looking for a fellow to maintain the status quo which is something we definitely do not want to do with PCK. No college in the world can prepare you on how to turn around an organisation in the state that PCK is in right now. If you are looking for relevant experience then you will need to get an expatriate as the only national postal corporation in Kenya is PCK. What is Major Ali's qualification that makes him an ideal candidate as the PMG? If you where sleeping & was then awaken by a hissing sound on turning on the light you see a snake what would you do? 1. Call KWS to send a team of experts to take capture the snake 2. Call the Police 3. Call KSPCA and ask for instruction on how to safely deal with the snake 4.

If i was the appointing authority, i would demand to know what your qualifications are and what measures you would use to turn around the supposed limping organisation. I would ask you your qualifications because it would inform me whether you have the fundamental background and skills required to deliver the service. I would look at both academic and professional experience to take the organisation forward. This also forms a criteria for selection acceptable to all, then we will not have "ya wenyewe" etc. Regards, Sam _______________________________________________ kictanet mailing list kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/listinfo/kictanet This message was sent to: conradakunga@gmail.com Unsubscribe or change your options at http://lists.kictanet.or.ke/mailman/options/kictanet/conradakunga%40gmail.co...
