[kictanet] Bob Collymore; Yet to arrive

[Michael Ouma]

If this was facebook, I would said "like this" comment.

I can't top up my credit via mpesa neither can I top up another number via the 
same mpesa since last week.

Subject: [kictanet] Bob Collymore; Yet to arrive


Hi Listers,

I had a chance to catch my namesake Robert Collymore's on the bench interview 
rerun with Jeff Koinange and it was quite enlightening especially from how he 
answered the questions.

For some reason Jeff was too mellow seems like he had been given a script which 
was unfortunate, his interview of one Kaguta Museveni was more punchy.

As I listened to the interview it became clear that Bob has still not arrived in 
Kenya, he is here physically but his heart must have been lost in transit, 
airlines keep doing it with peoples luggage, he needs a chance to arrive.

I would suggest that first someone takes him across to Njuguna's preferably 
after Mututho, best would be if it was with a non-safaricom supplier or staff 
member as he needs an orientation in Kenyanism.  After this he needs to visit 
Kiamaiko and also watch a soccer match at Dandora or Kibera stadiums then he 
will be better placed to comment on the Kenyan.  He might even be allowed to get 
aware with using terms like Kubafu and peculiar to describe us.

Unlike MJ, Bob has come to occupy the sit at the top of an existing ivory tower 
that Micheal built, from where the view can be very deceiving and 
his lieutenants are likely to  insulate him from what is happening on the 
ground.  

If he genuinely wants to sort our the rote within Safaricom and move the 
organisation into the future then he must descend from the ivory tower and order 
his heart back via express courier otherwise his stay shall be short and 
uneventful.  You cannot appreciate the bigger picture if you have no contact 
with the sectoral one, the pixels make the picture.

Just my take from the answers he gave to the soft questions that where rolled 
towards him.

Regards
