On that inquiry, we got these recommendations- (1) The Senate to amend the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act. (2) Automatic disqualification of any companies that failed the national tender evaluation process in a donor funded program from further considerations and consideration by the donors to minimize potential abuse. (3) Implementation of measures to prioritize the local manufactured goods in both public and donor driven procurement, where applicable. (4) Review the structure relationship between the Government of Kenya and the Global Fund to prioritize user department in case the Ministry of Health is a principle rather than subsidiary in the programme related to the mandates. (5) Dispense the Global Fund management units at the National Treasury and full transfer of its responsibility and function to the Ministry of Health.
