Dr. Ndemo, you are right that we are overdue for comprehensive reforms when it comes to how we run and manage our parastatals. However, I think that is exactly the kind of change that Yawe is proposing to bring about. I'm delighted that someone like Yawe who obviously has extensive experience in converging ICT with business, can be bold enough to stand up and say I can do it. Barack Obama in his book Dreams of My Father spoke about how leaders seeking the highest elective office must have an outsized ego. They must believe that they can do something better than everyone else, even if that something seems impossible. With Yawe, I can personally say that he has the brains, skills, motivation and ego to meet the challenges of being the post-master general. Look forward to your appointment Yawe.

Ministries do not have unlimited power over their parastatals. You recall as Hon. Michuki cleaned the Transport ministry, the Ports Authority was at the verge of collapse. There are intricacies in the running of state corporations that you are not aware of. They are managed by many agencies such as the State Corporations Advisory Council, Inspector General of State Corporations and not forgetting the unions. It is not as simple as you think. Several variables affect the way they operate. Comprehensive reforms may be necessary. Ndemo.
Hi Robert,
Thank you for a very well outlined vision. How I wish the appointing authority would give you an opportunity.
Meanwhile,I choose to strongly disagree with Bwana PS in regard to the legacy issues he raised.
Yawe's vision is comprised of income generating ideas e.g.Renting out banking hall space, Advertising, Selling airtime etc,very minimal resources are required and if anything the organisation would be assured of immediate returns.From the vision I also see numerous job opportunities being created through Ecomerce and the eventual door delivery of mail.
Listers, I draw inspiration from how Hon Michuki transformed the public transport sector. He used the same staff his predecessors had used,no retraining,no retrenchment or work force overhaul;just a man who decided to bring sanity on the roads and sanity he brought. Similarly,it also took one man,same task force,same conditions,to undo all what had been done by Hon Michuki at Ministry of Transport. Again Hon Michuki moved to Min of Enviroment,we could have heard excuses of how much resources were needed to clean Nairobi river........................again the river got cleaned.
Personally I believe its all dependent on the person at the top. Under our current situation I dont expect Yawe to immediately replace Maj Gen Hussein Ali but the least I would have expected is in the meantime Yawe be introduced to the Post Master General to share on how some of his ideas can be implemented as we wait for the resource and legacy issues to get resolved.

Its impossible to build a tribute of success on a foundation of excuses.
