ELDORET, KENYA: Uasin Gishu governor Jackson Mandago has criticised The National Treasury for usurping the role of Public Procurement and Oversight Authority (PPOA) for managing the government procurement process.

Mandago regretted that the current public procurement law has become a bottleneck to young people to get government tenders and it is high time the pieces of legislation be amended to allow youth, women, and People living with Disabilities (PWDs) secure national and county government tenders.
