[kictanet] Yawe for Post Master General - Aluta Continua

Thu Jul 7 16:56:18 EAT 2011

Hi,

Posta does not need agency business, PCK is supposed to be a fully fledged 
savings bank as it was before Post Bank was annexed.  The agency models you are 
seeing now are merely short sighted stop gap measures.  

The first bank account I ever had was Posta and that was when I was 16 years 
old, it was a no frills bank that served those at the bottom of the pyramid. 
 The separation of Post Bank from Posta was the beginning of the end.

With Posta offering disbursement of the funds for the poor and old there is hope 
yet for its provision of independent financial services.

Regards
 Robert Yawe

Then of course are the opportunities created by agency banking, not only for KCB 
as currently being deployed, but PCK could easily be the bank with everybank 
within.. more or less like pesapoint..
