Use law on right to information to fight corruption
Dear Listers, If Executive Order No. 2 of 2018 is prioritized and maintained, in 2020, we can start to track the percentage of funds allocated to information system (transparency promoting) projects. https://www.nation.co.ke/oped/opinion/Use-law-on-right-to-information-to-fig... In his desire to make the government accountable and tackle the runaway corruption, President Uhuru Kenyatta issued Executive Order No. 2 of 2018, directing public entities to, from July 1, maintain and continuously update and publicise complete information of all tenders awarded. Subsequently, the Public Procurement Information Portal — an online platform for the publication of contract awards and tender notices by public bodies — was set up to consolidate and upload such information on a monthly basis. More than 7,000 tenders and 1,500 contracts worth Sh50 billion awarded to 4,200 suppliers have been posted to enhance transparency in the public procurement of goods and services.
