all excited and remarked how we would reclaim "our lunch" being eaten
by others like Western Union, MoneyGram, etc. Years later we would learn
of mismanagement and accusations of embezzlement from gains from this
business line! We were astounded; and Western Union, MoneyGram and co
continue to eat our lunch!<br><br>Postal corporations world over are remaking themselves in the face of falling volumes of paper-based items - letters, ads, company reports, bills, statements, etc.<br><br>Electronic Bill Payment and Presentment (EBPP) offers huge opportunities; this PCK is aware of; I am hoping they can take it up, especially with the growth of ICT infrastructure and smartening of mobile devices! Add mobile money, combine with payment platforms such as M-pesa and you are home clean, and relevant for the times.<br><br>Agency Banking is another not fully exploited area that PCK could capitalize on; I cannot imagine another corporation with a larger branch network than PCK.<br><br>But as the Kiswahili saying goes "ukiona vyalea, vimeundwa", nothing comes without clear planning, strategy, leadership, execution. <br><br>Jumapili njema.<br><div> </div><font size="2"><span style="font-family:bookman old style, new york, times,
