[kictanet] Yawe for Post Master General - Aluta Continua

[Edwin Onchari]

Yawe,

 

I have a few questions for you:

 

1.       How will you increase the corporation’s revenues (i.e. what innovations ill you bring on-board to revive the sleeping giant), in the backdrop of its main products such as snail mail in sharp decline over the years as a result of modern IC technologies?

2.       Do you see any conflict of interest in your role at Posta as a result of your past, current or future engagements with the corporation/elsewhere?

3.       What are your specific qualifications and experience that make you the best candidate for the role of PMG?

4.       With a bloated/redundant workforce at Posta; how will you transform the organization to a lean and productive enterprise without causing “political” and sometimes ethnic uproar that comes with down/right sizing such an organization?

 

Best Regards,

 

Edwin M Onchari

Hi Robert,

 

Thanks for sharing your ambitions. Am curious and if you don't mind (since you have made your intentions public) I would like to start preparing public interview questions before your appointment.

 

1: Why do you think you are more qualified than the existing management?

2: Other than existing infrastructure that Posta has, have you also looked at the debts of the corporation to see the worthiness of the business?

3: Why don't you create a new Posta? Raise capital and use a network of existing businesses in the country.

Am sure others can add more questions these are to start?

 

Hello Mucheru,

 

I am sure Yawe is well prepared to answer these, but what you have done is to turn the wheel back some months:)

Yawe already pitched his reasons to support his quest some months back and those reasons are in the archives of this list. I am still very convinced that he can pull it off, given his pitch, which is perhaps what you need to start by reading.

 

What we (and him) want is a PCK that works, is profitable and is the pride of Kenyans, much like the UK Postal system, or any other "functional" one you can refer to elsewhere.

 

Don't we all know why Posta is the way it is? We just want the Posta Posta with Robert Yawe at the help, to turn it round. There is no point creating a new one. Just changing the business model, the employee mindset, coupled with sound management practices should be enough, or so I think.

 

PS: Robert, on a positive note, I recently decided to bite the bullet and sent my 1.7kg parcel to Australia using EMS Kenya. It cost me KES 6,300 (as opposed to KES 14,000 which DHL wanted to charge) and guess what? It arrived in Oz in a record 4-working days!!

While they still don't have the Bumba boxes, it would appear that they are capable of delivering -  cheaply than the likes of DHL.
