More Evidence of Key Appointments Strategy?

Is it mere coincidence that during the tenure of former President Moi, the CCK (Communications Commission of Kenya) was headed by a Kalenjin and now under Kibaki, it is a Kikuyu at the helm?

Interestingly, during the Kibaki administration the Postal Corporation of Kenya docket seems to have become a preserve of the Luo community. The current Postmaster general is Fred (we used to call him "Nigga" in school) Odhiambo.

It is like heading a large multi-national corporation and then appointing those close to you to head the Information technology division (equivalent of CCK) and then naming other insignificants for cosmetic reasons to the stationary division (equivalent of Postal Corporation Of Kenya). IT is in and it is the future while stationary is rapidly dwindling because of the widespread use of computers, folks hardly need letterheads in the quantities they previously required them in. In fact we are fast heading towards a paperless office (so what will stationary shops sell in future if even paper clips will be obsolete?)

It is common knowledge that the P.O. Box era is rapidly coming to an end and this is the reason why the Postal corporation has been struggling to reposition itself and find a new identity and viable profit center. To his credit Mr Odhiambo has recently overseen the bold launch of a new money transfer service, sadly as you read this, it is being swifly wiped out by the Safaricom new M-Pesa money transfer service that is so cheap to use that it is unbelievable. Sample this. To send up to Kshs 35,000 to a registered M-Pesa account holder costs only 30 bob (yep, 30 Kenya shillings, this is not a typo).

So what are we saying here? That if the next president of Kenya is Kalonzo, we will see a Kamba heading the CCK and if it is Raila we will see a Mr Odhiambo heading it?
