    "content": "The rollout of the e-Government Procurement (e-GP) System is scheduled for July 2025. To ensure its effective use, the National Treasury rolled out the training of end users from procuring entities in both the national and county governments on the e-Government Procurement (e-GP) System Phase 1 modules that cover from procurement planning to contract management. We have trained suppliers. To date, 400 end users of the e-Government Procurement (e-GP) System including public finance management staff and suppliers from both the national and county governments have been trained in readiness for the full rollout in July 2025. Next, I want to speak on restraining the growth of the public sector wage bill that has been of serious concern. The government continues to implement measures aimed at reducing the ratio of government’s wage bill as a share of tax revenue with a view to free much needed resources for priority social and development spending. The government will implement the following initiatives to control the wage bill. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
