Lets call crap when we see it. Brochure websites have been in existence since Tim-Benners-Lee invented the web in 1990. A child born then is near completing his PhD. No need of praising these guys. They will sit back pretty patting them-backs. 

The "digital government" has shown there is commitment in implementing value-added services to the end users. Everything has been computerized from PIN, Password, DL, Visa for foreigners, Tax returns ... There is commitment. We are in 2015 people.

We all know who's responsible of ensuring Posta is efficient. Its in an Executive Order of the President "Kenya Gazette Supplement No. 118, 16th August 2013, Legal Notice 183."

The ICT Authority is tasked with rationalising and streamlining the management of all Government of Kenya ICT functions. Its broad mandate entails enforcing ICT standards in Government and enhancing the supervision of its electronic communication. The Authority also promotes ICT literacy, capacity, innovation and enterprise in line with the Kenya National ICT Masterplan 2017.

- Deploy and manage all ICT staff in the public service;

I would also also sign up for such a service as described, and for an additional fee. The saved time would be worth it.

By POSTA standards and compared to a lot of GOK/Parastatal Websites this is good website. 

Digressing....

Can POSTA come up with a Notification Systems for snail mail. I have a GPO P.O. Box, I check my box maybe once a month and once a week when am expecting some important mail. Most of the time, the box is empty and I feel wasted. 

Proposal..

1. Each person loading the box can have some gadget where they key in every box number they load with a mail. Maybe a phone/app
2. All the box numbers collected can be exported to a system which compares and extracts the mobile phone numbers of the corresponding owner. 
3. Through some SMS solution they can send  bulk sms to all who have subscribed.
4. They can even charge for SMS notification.
5. I can wait for 5 such notifications before i walk all the way to GPO to check my box.

Any takers...someone can implement this and sell to them
 

Sincerely,
Jared Oyier

Just a bronchure website. Not functional. Crap really.

Compare with this Kenya site, where you can have your shipment picked at the comfort of your desk. No calls.  http://www.dhl.co.ke/en/express/shipping/pickup.html
