Subject(s): Summary: The Postal Corporation of Kenya (PCK) is set to announce a 250 million investment to enhance its money transfer services and restructure the country's mail system. Inability to adopt a more efficient business model has left the corporation playing catch up with G4S in the provision of courier services in Kenya. G4S easily obtained operational efficiency by simply turning their delivery trucks into small offices manned by two or three officers. Globalization and digital technology are leveling the competitive playing field, and increasingly, there may no longer be strength in the big number of branches such as those of PCK.
