Hi,
Postal is becoming more and more efficient and so is KRA in so far as EMS deliveries are concerned meaning that the environment is becoming more enabling for me to make a great impact on appointment.
My son ordered a pair of SUPRA shoes (the hottest shoe in the world market today) from the web on the 18th of July, the shoes arrived on the 27th and I received an SMS alert.
The entire process that included verification by KRA officials (a very efficient one at that-GPO), calculation of taxes, payment of taxes and handling charges took me less than 20 minutes. In addition the parcel was intact and so were the contents.
Postal seems to have cleaned up the vandalism
in their systems, I say this because the shoe I went to pick up costs over 15,000/- for an original on the streets of Nairobi in other words its a hot potato.
Regards
PS. Slowly the giant is awakening, as I waited for the process to be completed I looked at the local shipping tariffs for EMS and found that the most expensive destination is Moyale at a rate of 2,500/- for a 5 kilogram parcel

Subject: [kictanet] Yawe for Post Master General - A BoD issue
Hi Listers,
While looking at the structure of PCK I noted that the PMG is a none voting member of the Board of Directors which introduces an interesting dilemma to me when I take over.
The situation as it exists explains a lot why PCK has been used as a political pasture ground as the most that the holder of the PMG post can do is earn a salary and a few parks, he can actually do very little damage to the
corporation.
What this indicates is that the PMG is nothing more than an over glorified mailbox stuffer which now means that we need to work at either making the PMG a voting member of the BoD or introducing a CEO position with voting rights.
There is also the
possibility of becoming appointed a board member and also PMG for situation of which the act is silent
Only the strong flourish in adversity.
