Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has warned all Principal Secretaries and accounting officers to ensure their departments comply with the implementation of the new Electronic Government Procurement (eGP) system.
Speaking at the eGP launch in Nairobi on Monday, Mbadi directed the accounting officers of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), particularly the PSs, to immediately begin rolling out the system within their departments and with suppliers. ''All MDAs are now required to begin the rollout beginning with supplier registration.
Then procuring entity registration and ensure their suppliers are trained," Mbadi directed. According to the CS, should the PSs fail to onboard their departments' services on the eGP, then he will recommend to the president to take action on them as the appointing authority.
