[kictanet] Yawe for Post Master General - Aluta Continua

[robert yawe]

Hi,

The mandate of PCK clearly indicates that they understand and apply the 
requirements of Universal Access more than any other player such as the deliver 
of a letter, equivalent to 21 SMS messages, anywhere in the country for only 
35/-.

If we had all the post offices linked via the National FibrOptic cable it would 
would provide an instant opportunity for rural data by installing 4G base 
stations at each of the 700 post offices initially providing connectivity to the 
schools, hospitals and health centres within the vicinity.  Show me any other 
player who can achieve such a roll out with such low overheads?

The more I thing of the untapped potential of PCK the more my head aches.

Regards

Posta is the "public postal licensee" and the official universal service 
provider for Kenya. As such, Posta must provide the "consistent supply of basic 
quality postal services [including reserved services and postal financial 
services] at affordable prices at all points in the country." Robert Yawe

Hello All,

Robert.. this is what I would like PCK to embark on.

We have to move away from the PO Box system where a subscriber rents a box to 
receive and send mail. Mail should be delivered to a physical / geographical 
registered address. The Metropolitan ministry recently emabarked on a plan to 
tag physical addresses with numbers and street names to geographical addresses 
and PCK could merge those with their own Postal Codes and deliver mail as 
opposed to having people collect it physically at the post office:
