Kenya’s executive branch moved to quell uncertainty over the future of the national e-procurement platform after some lawmakers signalled plans to scrap the system. Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi said Parliament “has no power” to revoke the digital tendering framework and that only the Cabinet can make such a decision. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki reinforced the stance, declaring that the government “will not revert to the manual procurement system whatsoever.” The e-procurement portal, introduced to improve transparency and curb graft in public purchasing, will therefore remain in force unless the Cabinet formally decides otherwise.
