[kictanet] Yawe for Post Master General - Aluta Continua

[Agosta Liko]

I support Bwana Yawes candidature for PMG.

Its good that Posta is now working with KCB, they should do that deal
with all banks that want the agency model and add Mpesa etc etc

They are everywhere and can be used as such

Most importantly, for where Kenya is going in terms of eCommerce,
Posta is the best placed to provide countrywide logistics and supply
chain... From Yaya Center to Misikhu ...

Growing up, we used to be sent to Nairobi to buy TV's, Tractor Spares
etc etc. Fertilizer is still much cheaper in Mombasa than in Kitale.
Today, maize is available in Bungoma ... People are starving on
Ukambani... An IT enabled Posta can fix this.

When buying tractor spares in Kitale, the shopkeeper always calls
Nairobi, gets a price and adds a 60pct markup ... Ecommerce fixes
this, one price plus shipping and handling

One change though. As Posta changes leadership, they should hire a
kick ass IT Team ... Programmers, designers etc etc so that they can
build from the ground up ... I see too many IBMs and Accentures doing
work that can be done by Kenyans ... At ridiculous prices ...

Robert, if all else fails, we should look at Joe Mucheru's
suggestion... Start a logistics company ... From the ground up....

Thanks
