You are right Walu. Learning has to be a passion. It is
unfortunate that many Kenyans can only agree to read when it
might lead to a job.

Yawe,
Dont try to ran away from a degree bwana! I know a Kenyan
colleague who got a degree at 65yrs of age. Not because they
were looking for a job, but just because they could (had the
opportunity, the brain and resources to do it). I strongly
believe you have the opportunity, the brain and the resources to
get that degree - just because you can.
walu.

Hi Solomon,
I realise that I did not answer your main question which was on
my academic qualifications.
When I initially made my sentiments known on this list about the
post of PMG the issue of my academic qualifications came up, I do
not have a degree but I refuse to think of that as a hindrance to
my abilities in turning PCK around.
For a long time I felt that the solution to the issue of my
academic qualifications had a single clear solution was to get a
degree, an issue that has even come up on the domestic front, and
for a while I pursued that direction.
That was until the issue of parliamentarians needing to have a
university degree was brought up in the draft constitution and
immediately those without degrees started donating libraries
to universities in exchange for honorary (given for honor only,
without the usual requirements) degrees while others paid for
work credit based degrees from a plethora of online universities.
It is dawned on me that if a piece of paper that had no real
value to either the community or myself is what stood between me
and the post of PMG or any other office then I would rather not
get the post.
I am not trying in any way to belittle the need for university
education, it is essential for a younger person but at 45 years
of age it will be a waste of valuable time and resources and I
believe you will agree with me that those resources would be
better used by sponsoring a needy student to university or
through secondary school.
The post of president, governor, senator, parliamentarian or any
other position of leadership is about using available resources
to achieve an objective an not being the resource.
PCK has hundreds of highly educated employees who have the skills
to execute but without the right direction they will remain loose
canons, I am the gunner who can align them to the target.
Regards
PS. This response was triggered after I was told yesterday by a
friend that I am no longer employable as my experience would be
best harnessed at board level, I agree.

Listers,
Disclaimer: This is not to disregard Yawe's candidature.
I have been silently following the 'self-campaign' by one Robert
Yawe
in his quest of becoming the Post Master General, at Postal
Corporation of Kenya.
I have also noticed the passionate he has of reviving this
important
agency back to where it was in yesteryears. This passion, I can
state,
comes as a result of mass wastage the organization does; not
changing
with times, has more workers but less output, corruption and
perhaps
political interference.
Now, as long as PCK remains a state-run corporation, the PMG,
must be
someone who is bound by various laws, notably Public Officers
Ethics
Act etc. In line with this, Bw. Yawe, how does your qualification
(Academic & non-academic) relate well with Chapter 6 of the
Constitution?
PS: Remember our MPs the other day turned down some nominees
because
they considered them 'impassionate' yet qualified.
Thanks
Regards,
Solomon
