National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has defended the government’s E-procurement plan, calling it the most effective way to manage public resources despite opposition from county governors. He emphasized that the system promotes accountability and is not intended to erode devolution.

• The CS also announced the rollout of a Treasury Single Account to enhance transparency and prevent the diversion of funds.
• Mbadi revealed plans for an integrated payroll system to eliminate ghost workers.
• The E-procurement system is already in use by several government departments, including State House, and has proven effective in tackling issues like pending bills.
