[kictanet] Yawe for Post Master General

Tue Nov 16 12:33:39 EAT 2010

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.

With Kind Regards,

Jane,
You are right to some extent.  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.
