Chief officers in a county in Western are in a panic after the Public Procurement Regulatory Agency said it is investigating how their procurement processes are conducted. A little bird whispers to Corridors that chief officers in the county have been empowered by the governor to undermine the authority of their respective CECs, and are messing everything up big time. They are said to see to it that tenders worth over Sh6 million are divided into two or three so that they are not advertised, but end up being awarded to a single person. This is against the public procurement rules. But the chief officers have blinded the governor, deceiving him to believe that what they are doing is okay.
