The corporation needs a younger visionary. Yawe, I hope that someone
is listening and gives you a shot at this! The corporation badly needs to tap
into ecommerce, I would love to have my mail delivered/dispatched at my doorstep
(just imagine the employment creation opportunity here), securely with excellent
customer service!

Hi,
I
believe I am one of very few who can straddle the 2 eras of mail
& email to be able to appreciate how they converge in addition I have the
passion to want to see Postal turned around to its full blossom.
And most important
I am not a retired civil servant who the government wants to put out to
pasture, they have tried engineers, lawyers, military generals and many others
and none was able to make any noticeable difference apart from maybe repaint
the premises.
On your parcels I
have had the same issue with shipments from Amazon sometimes I will receive
then items within a week other times a month but I realised that the problem is
with how the US couriers handle overseas mail using some cheap middlemen.
But when I ship
from anywhere in the world including China using the EMS service and USPS in
the USA my parcels arrive within 7 days which means that the main issue is the
originating courier not Postal Corporation.
For in country
delivery Postal has no equal, with over 990 outlets spread across the entire
country from end to end with a delivery of 3 days. With such a network
even the Kenya National Examination Council really have no reason to
deliver exam papers any other way, but the selfish interests of a few.

I find that I usually don't receive them - two or three packages sent from
Europe took months (!) to reach me, and another two are still missing and I've
written them off. So I don't ask people to send anything in the mail anymore,
but to courier the items, or give them to someon who's traveling.
So this situation could clearly do with some improvements. Robert, what's your
qualification to turn this parastatal around?

Hi,
It is
saddening to see how Postal Corporation is treated as a dumping ground for
retired civil servants turning it into a sedated giant being denied the
opportunity to play its rightful role
in levelling the playing field.
Many
of us think that just because we rarely receive snail mail that it serves no
purposes, we write articles and make statements of how email and instant
messaging are the final nail in the coffin of Posta but I ask after your order
the pair of shoes online and pay via mpesa or mkesha how do you expect to
receive the shoes? SMS, email, or IM.
I
believe that we are doing a disservice to the country by killing Posta and
someone needs to stand up and put Posta back to where it belongs as the enabler
for e-commerce, e-learning, narrower of the digital divide and governance.
I
therefore offer myself as a candidate for Post Master General of Postal Corporation
of Kenya.
