Why Choose Us
The Public Suppliers Nightmare
One of the biggest challenges for public suppliers in Kenya is the long delays in payment for goods and services supplied to government agencies. Some suppliers wait for months or even years to receive their dues, leading to cash flow problems, business closures, and huge financial losses.
Four Steps Forward
Suppliers Problems
Corruption & Kickbacks
Many suppliers struggle with corrupt procurement processes, where officials demand bribes or kickbacks before awarding tenders or processing payments.
Unfair Tender Process
Despite the existence of public procurement laws, some tenders are awarded through favoritism, insider deals, and political influence rather than merit
Unfair Competition from Foreign Firms
Local suppliers often compete with well-funded foreign companies, especially in large infrastructure projects
Political & Policy Instability
Frequent policy changes, government restructuring, and political interference affect contract execution
