Postal Corporation of Kenya unveils plans to venture into matatu business.



Signs of an MD who's lacked ideas.

not a bad idea to tame lawless matatus that are currently operating. In Germany, Deutsche Bahn( German Railway Company) used to enjoy Monopoly in the Transport sector. That made them arrogant and they began charging whatever amount they they deemed fit for them. However, Since two years ago, this sector has been liberalised and more buses are now plying the very same routes that Deutsche Bahn plys but charging way much less than DB. Deutsche Post( German Post Corporation) also got into the Transport Business and they are doing very fine. I guess that is where the MD of Postal corporation borrowed his idea from. If they charge less than the current market Price, be sure of them taking the market by storm.

I no longer believe anything GOK related any more. First, it might just an avenue of another mega scandal and/or second, it will never kick off.

Those people can't even send a letter or sell a postage stamp, how are they going to run a matatu? nkt! Enough of this nonsense.

same guys who were unable to run cyber cafes, out competed by matatu saccos in parcels courier, can't come up with a "mail to door" system, can't grow a bank that is exempt from income tax???

If history is any guide, this is another bad trajectory - we need to leap forward. Posta's competition should be found in more advanced economies than us, not the 14-seater ...

I'm in sync with @alma1 & @sparkly

@FullyKenyan -- I doubt taming the matatus is the priority here. More of raising side cash for Posta's operations (video description on youtube)

Let's wait and see

That is the dumbest decision ever. Does the ceo understand posta's mandate?

Times are changing and so the mandate must also be changed from time to time.

I doubt if the "Royal Mail" is running 'matatus' in london in these changing times.

They are in the business of transporting items from point A to point B. It within their ambit. Good luck!
