>>
>> For those who may not have heard yet, the Government today appointed
>> a new board at CCK, while at the same time reshuffling various
>> positions in the industry:
>>
>> TESPOK is pleased to see a new board in place as this will allow for
>> the resumption of industry activities. The role change the Government
>> has made between the regulator and the incumbent is an interesting
>> twist to the "CCK-saga".
>>
>> It is our view that this could result in a much speedier decision
>> making process and understanding of the sector as a whole from both
>> arms of the government.
>>
>> The appointment of members from the civil society, to the board also
>> signals the government willingness to listening to the sector. As
>> regards the independence of the board and the CCK as a whole, we have
>> assurance from the government that this will be maintained and
>> therefore can only wait to see the outcome.
>>
>> The changes and appointments are as follows;
>>
>> POSTAL CORPORATION CHAIRMAN:
>> - GENERAL (RTD) PETER KARIUKI - FORMER CCK CHAIRMAN
>>
>> TELKOM KENYA: MANAGING DIRECTOR
>> - SAMMY KIRUI - FORMER CCK DG
