Principle secretaries at a risk of loosing jobs over online procurement

President Uhuru Kenyatta said any Principal Secretary who fails to comply will have his or her status as the chief accounting officer of the ministry taken away immediately.He said he was not going back on the Executive Order he issued that requires all government ministries and agencies to use the e-procurement system to minimise avenues for corruption.

He said there was some compliance but added that it was not satisfactory.

President Kenyatta also said senior officers should know that they cannot fool anyone by making available some tenders on the e-procurement system, while concealing others.“You cannot fool us by showing a tender for Ksh 100 million when your budgets runs into billions,” he said.

President Kenyatta spoke Friday when he opened a new terminal at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport with a capacity to handle 2.5 million passengers annually.
