No Controls At Nampost?

IT is with dismay I read the letter about NamPost regarding the handling of post.

So many times readers’ concerns regarding missing mail and parcels at NamPost have appeared in the newspapers. Yet no improvement is apparent, or at least, it seems so.It is also apparent that the management of NamPost is ignorant about this issue.Why are they silent on this issue? Are they thereby admitting their failure to put in proper controls? Or are they not able to strengthen existing controls? I have experienced similar things to the person whose letter was placed in The Namibian of May 19, 2006.If the situation is not to change for the better in the near future, why is the competence of the current management not investigated? And if that is not done, then the Government, which is the sole shareholder of this parastatal, is also condoning the bad service.What should happen before bad service is to be improved? Why is this happening after the scandal of about four years ago, where opened parcels and other postal items were found? Is it really very difficult to put in stricter control measures, or are those who are in charge of any existing controls not also part of the mafia? Or, can management issue a full press release in which they outline current control systems within the mail and parcel-handling sections to the public? I have an additional point regarding the delivery time of NamPost.Mail within Windhoek itself can take five days or more.I am not guessing because I check my mail every day.It is time that NamPost is privatised immediately – that’s the only solution, or the management should be replaced, if they do not do something drastic about the bad service they are rendering.I am just astonished by some hungry criminals within the company who do not have the decency to leave alone mail or parcels destined for customers.I exclude those employees of NamPost who earn their monthly salaries honestly.Bravo to them.Finally, get rid of those rotten apples tarnishing the image of an entity once known for its excellent service.A Rooi Via e-mailYet no improvement is apparent, or at least, it seems so.It is also apparent that the management of NamPost is ignorant about this issue.Why are they silent on this issue?
