[kictanet] Yawe for Post Master General - taking initiative

Hi Listers,

As I await the appointment, instead of just sitting back I have decided to start 
helping PCK move towards my targets so as to reduce the number of projects I 
will need to launch during my first 100 days in office.

I have convinced a client organisation to start making use of the EMS product of 
PCK for their local delivery of products instead of G4S and other courier 
companies.  The company has over 10,000 representatives distributed across the 
country who need to travel either to Nairobi or Mombasa to collect their 
products for onward distribution.

After giving them a presentation to my client of how they could use EMS and 
Parcel Post to get products out to their clients the management where shocked at 
the latent potential available in the organisation.  

The proposal looks at utilising the delivery services of PCK and also renting 
space within the post offices for storage, this will reduce the time to get the 
products to the end users by having them dispatched from the nearest storage 
location.

They met with the management at PCK on Thursday and we hope that the issue will 
be presented to the BoD for approval, but knowing the processes currently 
existing within PCK I am likely to be in office by the time it is signed off.

I think that, thanks to this 'Terminator' thread (I.em it will just
not die) perhaps the PMG or his rep has tapped into KICTANET and
gleaning a lot - freebie consulting if you like :)
