I'm delighted that someone like Yawe who obviously
has extensive experience in converging ICT with business, can be bold enough to stand up and say I can do it. Barack Obama in his book Dreams of My Father spoke about how leaders seeking the highest elective office must have an outsized ego. They must believe that they can do something better than everyone else, even if that something seems impossible. With Yawe, I can personally say that he has the brains, skills, motivation and ego to meet the challenges of being the post-master general.<br><br>Look forward to your appointment Yawe.<br><br>With Kind Regards,<br>Harry Karanja<br>Senior Consultant, EVA<br><br><br>Eva - The Executive Virtual Assistant who saves you time and money, and increases your revenue by handling customer care, sales & marketing, website marketing, and appointments at an affordable monthly price.<br>A service by Business Made Simple<br>Genius Executive Centre. 15th Floor View Park Towers, Nairobi Kenya <br>PO Box 40665 Nairobi

Ministries do not have unlimited power over<br>their parastatals. You recall as Hon. Michuki cleaned the Transport<br>ministry, the Ports Authority was at the verge of collapse. There are<br>intricacies in the running of state corporations that you are not aware<br>of. They are managed by many agencies such as the State Corporations<br>Advisory Council, Inspector General of State Corporations and not<br>forgetting the unions. It is not as simple as you think. Several<br>variables affect the way they operate. Comprehensive reforms may be<br>necessary.<br><br>Ndemo.<br><br><br><br>> Hi Robert,<br>><br>> Thank you for a very well outlined vision.<br>> How I wish the appointing authority would give you an
opportunity.<br>><br>> Meanwhile,I choose to strongly disagree with Bwana PS in regard to the<br>> legacy<br>> issues he raised.<br>><br>> Yawe's vision is comprised of income generating ideas e.g.Renting out<br>> banking<br>> hall space, Advertising, Selling airtime etc,very minimal resources are<br>> required<br>> and if anything the organisation would be assured of immediate<br>> returns.From the<br>> vision I also see numerous job opportunities being created through<br>> Ecomerce and<br>> the eventual door delivery of mail.<br>><br>> Listers, I draw inspiration from how Hon Michuki transformed the public<br>> transport sector.<br>> He used the same staff his predecessors had used,no retraining,no<br>> retrenchment<br>> or work force overhaul;just a man who decided to bring sanity on the roads<br>> and<br>> sanity he brought.<br>> Similarly,it also took one man,same task force,same
conditions,to undo all<br>> what<br>> had been done by Hon Michuki at Ministry of Transport.<br>> Again Hon Michuki moved to Min of Enviroment,we could have heard excuses<br>> of how<br>> much resources were needed to clean Nairobi<br>> river........................again<br>> the river got cleaned.<br>><br>> Personally I believe its all dependent on the person at the top.<br>> Under our current situation I dont expect Yawe to immediately replace Maj<br>> Gen<br>> Hussein Ali but the least I would have expected is in the meantime Yawe be<br>> introduced to the Post Master General to share on how some of his ideas<br>> can be<br>> implemented as we wait for the resource and legacy issues to get resolved.<br>><br>> Jane Kagiri<br>> <a ymailto="mailto:kagirijane@yahoo.com" href="mailto:kagirijane@yahoo.com">kagirijane@yahoo.com</a><br>><br>> Its impossible to build a tribute of success on a
