You get my vote. (Un?)fortunately Parastatal positions in Kenya are
not elective ;-). Its been a while since I reviewed the Postal Act
(possibly Kenya Comm. Act 1998) but i believe to be the Postmaster
General, the Minister (now Hon. Pogishio) has to appoint you. But before he
does so, the PCK Board has to send him the top 3names of the potential
candidates. But before they send him the 3names, the position
must(should?) be vacant.<br>
<br>
Last I heard was the retired General Ali had moved from shooting
bullets to shooting stamps and was in charge - but of late I have been
seeing someone signing off on his behalf in acting capacity. So maybe
the position quietly went vacant. So keep an eye on Press Adverts, they
may just advertise. However, I can assure you, your chances of getting
the post is close to nil due to many reasons but chiefly among them -
most of these parastatal jobs "zina-wenyewe" possibly until the new
constitution kicks in nicely (post-2012). <br>
