Treasury Principal Secretary Chris Kiptoo transferred 27 procurement officers on Sept. 26, and the officials must arrive at their new posts by Sept. 30. The directive aims to balance workforce distribution, and it addresses personnel shortages across multiple ministries. Kennedy Kinoti Marangu moved from the Environment department to Medical Services, while Frank Boiwo Kiptoo shifted from Shipping to Cabinet Affairs.
The transfers occur as government agencies struggle with the new electronic procurement platform. Most state entities have not acquired goods or services during the current fiscal quarter's final days. Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi defended the World Bank initiative before parliament, but procurement staff claim inadequate training hampers their work with the system.
