The High Court has halted the mandatory use of Kenya's electronic Government Procurement System (e-GPS), ruling that public entities can choose between electronic or manual tender submissions. This decision comes after widespread contention over the system's preparedness and potential disruption to service delivery.

• The High Court ruling by Justice Bahati Mwamuye allows public entities to submit tender documents "in writing and in either electronic or manual form."
• Treasury and the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) are ordered to process both electronic and manual submissions "equally."
• Only three out of 47 counties participated in the pilot phase of the e-GP system, with all reporting "major failures."
