Regulators have vowed to intensify enforcement against unlicensed supply chain officers operating in Kenya, warning that arrests could follow as the government moves to clean up the sector.

Only 43 per cent of supply chain officers are currently in good standing, while at least 15 per cent are operating illegally, according to the Kenya Institute of Supplies Management (KISM).
