The National Treasury has confirmed that all ministries, state departments, independent offices, and commissions have had their budgets uploaded onto the government’s electronic procurement platform (e-GP), marking a major step in Kenya’s transition to digital procurement.
In a circular dated September 1, 2025, Principal Secretary for Public Investments and Assets Management, Cyrell Odede Waguda, said the rollout of the e-GP system will improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability in government procurement. The e-GP system, which became operational on July 1, 2025, replaces manual procurement processes and allows for end-to-end electronic processing of goods, works, and services. According to the Principal Secretary (PS) Public Investment & Asset Management Cyrell Wagunda Odede, the platform is expected to cut costs, reduce procurement cycle times, enhance value for money, and strengthen integrity in transactions between procuring entities and suppliers.“The National Treasury hereby confirms that all Ministries, State Departments and Independent Commissions & Offices have been registered in the e-GP system in readiness for end-to-end electronic processing of procurement,” the circular by Odede stated. “Additionally, and as a prerequisite to procurement planning, all budgets have been uploaded in the e-GP system.”
