To enable youth, women and persons living with disability to participate in government opportunities including tenders, the State has done its best to implement the Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (Agpo) programme that was launched by President Uhuru Kenyatta in October 2013, but the main bottleneck is lack of a body mandated to oversee the policy.
The Agpo programme founded on article 227 of the Constitution aims at fair, equitable, transparent and cost-effective procurement of goods and services to citizenry.
