This is step in right direction in the fight against corruption.
Let the tenderprenuers be known....so people can connect dots.
https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2018/06/14/uhuru-order-all-tender-company-directors-must-be-made-public_c1772598President Uhuru Kenyatta has ordered all government entities to publish names of firms and identities of directors of companies that are awarded any supply contracts.
In a major blow to the secrecy that surrounds tenders, and the astronomical cost of supplies to government institutions, the Executive Order requires full procurement details to be published from July 1.
The information to be published includes items or services purchased, contract prices and the particulars of the suppliers including owners, directors and beneficial ownership.
Many corrupt deals are carried out by shadowy companies whose ownership is often known but not documented.
Beneficial ownership has dogged the pursuit of justice in corruption cases and many of the latter day millionaires who flaunt their stuff are not known to be directors of any companies.
The order means that procuring entities will from next month tailor their tender documents to include names of the directors of bidding companies. The directive spells doom for politicians and influential wheeler-dealers who either directly or through proxies obtain lucrative government and parastatal tenders.
