The Kenyan government has issued a warning to contractors and civil servants relying on political connections for public contracts. Deputy Chief of Staff Eliud Owalo emphasized the need for accountability in government projects during a tour on July 19.

• Owalo stated that contracts must comply with the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, which does not permit political favoritism.
• He affirmed a commitment to judge contractors based on the quality of their work, rather than their political connections.
• The government plans to crack down on civil servants profiting from contracting businesses, urging those involved to either focus on their roles or resign.
