The Kenya Institute of Supplies Management (KISM) is calling for full implementation of the electronic government procurement (E-GP) system by counties as one way of addressing runaway graft.
According to the Institute, the system that has been unpopular among counties was key to sealing loopholes that had seen devolved units lose billions of shillings.
Since devolution was implemented in 2013, the auditor general's annual reports have flagged increased misappropriation and graft of public funds by senior county officials, including governors.
