The directive was issued by the Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi on Tuesday, August 25, during a meeting with the Council of Governors.

The meeting focused on the rollout of the e-GP system across the counties as the government moves to strengthen public procurement management.

According to Mbadi, counties are required to ensure the full integration of the two systems within the set deadline, signaling a renewed push by the Treasury to have county procurement processes fully migrated to the electronic platform.

"The CS directed that full integration of e-GP with IFMIS be completed by the end of September 2026, noting that the system will strengthen transparency, efficiency, accountability and value for money in public procurement," the Treasury announced in a statement.

Integrating e-GP with IFMIS, the CS noted,  will strengthen transparency, efficiency, and accountability in public procurement while ensuring better value for money.

The system is expected to provide a more integrated approach to the procurement process by linking procurement activities to government financial management systems.

The directive comes as the government continues to push for greater digitisation of public financial management and procurement across national and county governments.

The Treasury said the engagement with governors aimed to support the smooth rollout of e-GP across the 47 counties and to ensure that county governments comply with the integration requirements.

One of the core functions of the digital system is to boost transparency and accountability.
