[kictanet] Yawe for Post Master General

[robert yawe]

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?
