Hello Mucheru,

I am sure Yawe is well prepared to answer these, but what you have done is
to turn the wheel back some months:)
Yawe already pitched his reasons to support his quest some months back and
those reasons are in the archives of this list. I am still very convinced
that he can pull it off, given his pitch, which is perhaps what you need to
start by reading.

What we (and him) want is a PCK that works, is profitable and is the pride
of Kenyans, much like the UK Postal system, or any other "functional" one
you can refer to elsewhere.

Don't we all know why Posta is the way it is? We just want the Posta Posta
with Robert Yawe at the help, to turn it round. There is no point creating a
new one. Just changing the business model, the employee mindset, coupled
with sound management practices should be enough, or so I think.

PS: Robert, on a positive note, I recently decided to bite the bullet and
sent my 1.7kg parcel to Australia using EMS Kenya. It cost me KES 6,300 (as
opposed to KES 14,000 which DHL wanted to charge) and guess what? It arrived
in Oz in a record 4-working days!!
While they still don't have the Bumba boxes, it would appear that they are
capable of delivering -  cheaply than the likes of DHL.
