Building Strong Systems: ACA Trains Officers on e-GP Procurement Platform

Naivasha, Kenya — The Anti-Counterfeit Authority is strengthening its institutional systems through a specialized training programme on the Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) system, aimed at enhancing transparency, accountability, and internal capacity in public procurement.

The training brings together officers from various departments who are undergoing hands-on instruction on key e-GP modules that support end-to-end electronic procurement processes. These include electronic requisitioning, tender submission and evaluation, contract management, and invoice processing, in line with ongoing public procurement reforms.

The Executive Director of the Authority, Dr. Robi King’a, joined officers undergoing the training, reaffirming the Authority’s commitment to embedding strong, transparent systems as part of broader institutional reforms.

Speaking during the engagement, Dr. King’a noted that the e-GP system is a critical governance tool designed to standardize procurement processes, reduce manual intervention, and strengthen accountability across the procurement cycle.

“Such trainings are critical to achieving the Authority’s Strategic Plan as they strengthen institutional systems, enhance staff capacity, and support the delivery of efficient, transparent, and accountable services,” said Dr. King’a.

The training forms part of the implementation of the Authority’s Strategic Plan, which prioritizes institutional strengthening, good governance, and efficient utilization of public resources. By investing in modern procurement systems and continuous staff capacity building, the Authority continues to enhance operational effectiveness and reinforce public confidence in its processes.

The e-GP training reflects the Authority’s long-term focus on building resilient systems that support transparency, accountability, and sustainable institutional growth.
