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>

I find that I usually don't receive them - two or three packages sent from
Europe took months (!) to reach me, and another two are still missing and
I've written them off. So I don't ask people to send anything in the mail
anymore, but to courier the items, or give them to someon who's traveling. <br>
<br>
So this situation could clearly do with some improvements. Robert, what's
your qualification to turn this parastatal around? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
