All Kenyan government departments must integrate into the new e-procurement system by next week, a directive from Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi. This move aims to automate public procurement, enhancing transparency and combating corruption in the process.

• The government spent USD 2.9 million (Ksh.375 million) on procuring the e-procurement system in 2022.
• Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi issued the stern warning during an interview on Citizen TV.
• Failure to onboard will result in irregular accounting, which is punishable, and the new system prevents document manipulation, with users unable to delete or amend uploaded information.
