The government has announced that it will fully transition all public procurement processes to an electronic platform by July 1, 2025, in a decisive effort to curb corruption and enhance transparency in the management of public resources.
Speaking during a thanksgiving service held at Kipsigis Girls High School in Kericho County, Head of Public Service Felix Koskei stated that all government institutions will be required to adopt the e-procurement system, which is designed to provide comprehensive visibility and traceability of all procurement transactions.
Koskei emphasized that the digital platform will enable real-time monitoring of key procurement stages, including application submissions, issuance of award letters, and payment processes, thereby eliminating manual loopholes that have historically facilitated influence peddling, theft, and lack of accountability. "We want to see corruption wiped out from this country.
That is why we are directing all government institutions to shift from manual procurement to e-procurement.
