The Council of Governors (CoG) has vowed to challenge in court a directive by President William Ruto and Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi requiring counties to mandatorily adopt the Electronic Government Procurement (eGP) system.
CoG chairperson Ahmed Abdullahi, speaking on Citizen TV on Tuesday night, said repeated attempts to have Treasury withdraw the circular had failed, leaving the governors with no choice but to seek legal redress.
Abdullahi noted that the eGP system was piloted in Elgeyo Marakwet, Busia, and Makueni but failed to deliver as expected.
He argued that despite the challenges experienced during the trial phase, the system was rolled out nationwide without addressing the gaps.
