| dc.description.abstract | This research study inspired by the concerns about Public Procurement in Kenya and Wildlife Services of Kenya in particular, examines the impact of public procurement and disposal regulations. According to Aketch, 2005, Government world over are receiving a great deal of attention as providers of essential services, such as health, education, defense and infrastructures. To meet the demand, government purchase goods and services from the market place. The business operations of governments in the market place constitute what is referred to as Public Procurement. Public Procurement is the act of a public body or entity purchasing or procuring goods, work and/or services from the market place. Kenya's Public Procurement and Disposal Act of 2005 defines procurement as acquisition by purchase, lease, hire purchase, license, tenancy, franchise, or by any other contractual means of any type of works, assets, services or goods including livestock or any other combination". Public Procurement is an important part of any economy as it takes more than 50% of the budget. In Kenya, about 60% of government revenue is spent on procurement. Yet, until not too long ago, the subject or public procurement would have received little attention from policy makers because it was considered as administrative function too mundane to worry about (Witting, .. 1998). Perhaps in order to understand the current slate of procurement deficiencies and make necessary recommendation on mitigation strategy, we need to look at recent history of Kenya. Within the last two decades the country witnessed renewed eruption of procurement corruption. As democratic winds swept the world after the fall of the Berlin wall Kenya reluctantly agreed to multiparty democracy in 1992. But in order to perpetuate themselves in power, the ruling elite coalescing around the ruling party KANU not only devised the Goldenberg scandal but also reinvented procurement corruption in government departments and the armed forces in particular. | en_US |
