Treasury targets graft in schools with shift to public tenders portal

Schools are expected to join the electronic government procurement portal (e-GP) in a new effort to curb graft and disclose the beneficiaries of public contracts worth billions of shillings each year. The rollout will replace fragmented manual tender processes with a centralised online system. Linked to the government’s financial and administrative databases, the portal is intended to improve transparency and close loopholes in procurement at public learning institutions.
