The Council of Governors (CoG) is demanding an urgent review of Kenya's new e-Government Procurement (EGP) system, warning that counties are paralyzed by delayed salaries and stalled operations. Led by CoG Chairperson Ahmed Abdullahi, governors state that the system has made the first financial quarter "disastrous," preventing essential spending and threatening service delivery.

• Counties cannot pay salaries, contractors, or fuel suppliers due to budgets being wrongly mapped or frozen in the EGP system.
• The EGP system, launched April 7, 2025, is projected to save the country up to Sh50 billion annually by curbing procurement fraud.
• President William Ruto insists the system, intended to eliminate corruption in government procurement, will not be reversed despite strong opposition from some governors and Members of Parliament.
