(3) We also asked State Corporations Advisory Committee (SCAC) to undertake an audit into the conduct of the board of directors and board of management of KEMSA in accordance with Section 27 of the States Corporations Act and make recommendations to the President, the Cabinet Secretary and the Ministry of Health on the measures required to put in place and ensure effective management and functioning of KEMSA. (4) We also asked for a review of Public Procurement and Asset’s Disposal Act so as to cover issues like rapid market survey in case of emergency procurement and ensure that the procurement plan and the annual procurement projection setting up the intentions of the probable timing, in 24 months period, with some indication of the probability of the intended procurement are available to the public. (5) Publish a complete list of current contracts with planned intentions for extension or market approach in the next 24 months. (6) Report any significant variations to the procurement programme in its annual report. (7) Review the existing regulations to provide for elaborate framework for the conduct, by procurement entities, of emergency procurements, in particular, implementations of Section 103 of the Public Procurement and Assets Disposal Act procurement entities.
