<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi,<br>
<br>
Yesterday PCK launched their payment platform which allows me to regurgitate a post, below, that I did in 2010 when I started my public campaign to be appointed the PMG.<br>
<br>
At the launch a clear statement was made on how the government will use the PCK infrastructure to deliver its services to the public a position that was many a times reiterated by Dr. Kate Getao the ICT Secretary, her strategy unlike many of the others seems
like it will come to pass. <br>
<br>
The PASHA, Digital Village and most of the other initiatives have all fallen by the wayside and the one that was ever going to be sustainable has emerged victorious, which raises the question of what has changed in the last 100 days?<br>
<br>
1. Dr. Ndemo is no longer in charge of the Information ministry (even though the former minister Hon. Pogisho was prominent at the PCK launch)<br>
2. Mr. Paul Kukubo left the KICT Board<br>
3. KICT Board to be placed under the e-Government docket<br>
4. A digital focused President has taken up the reigns <br>
<br>
5. A realisation by those in government that PCK is more than stamps <br>
<br>
Regards<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times","serif"">It is with shock that I read about the closing of some of the post offices around the country by Postal Corporation. This is an indication of a management that has no vision or ambition maybe as
a result of using the corporation as a retirement centre. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

shutting down post offices is a step in the wrong direction. It is unfortunate that we have heard no reaction to this issue from the ministry of information, CCK or even Kenya ICTBoard. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times","serif"">It is time Postal corporation was run by someone who understands the transitioning of the role of the postal corporation in the digital age, to me they are the perfect platform for rolling out digital
villages, outsorucing service and e-commerce. This will avoid the appointment of executives who are more interested in the supply of fuel, tyres and insurance as opposed to moving the organisations to new heights.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times","serif"">Implementation of e-mail to mail systems would reduce the costs of transport incurred by PCK which makes up over 60% of their operational costs. Unfortunately most of those who have been appointed
to the post of post master general have no appreciation of the role of the postal services in the development of the nation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

clearly defined performance indicators. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
