Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi, who also attended the forum, accused some lawmakers of misleading the public on calls to revoke the e-procurement system.
"I want to ask: when we were implementing IFMIS as an accounting system, why wasn't it revoked? I have issued a circular on zero-based budgeting on the treasury singular account, but when I issue one on e-procurement, people have a problem with it," posed Mbadi.
"It is because they have interests in procurement. They want to go back to when they could pluck papers from tender documents. That we are not going to allow. I was hired to bring change," he added.
