The Principal Secretary for Public Investments and Assets Management, Mr. Cyrell Wagunda, today conducted an inspection tour of the Kenya Procurement & Disposal Agency (KEDPA) offices and warehouses located in Nairobi’s Industrial Area, reaffirming the Government’s commitment to optimizing public assets for economic growth.

During the visit, the PS received a comprehensive briefing on the Agency’s mandate and was taken through the warehouse facilities by the Secretary of Administration, Mr. Michael Lesimam, to assess the status, utilization, and value of assets under KEDPA’s management.

In his remarks, PS Wagunda emphasized that such site visits are critical in enhancing oversight, promoting operational efficiency, and strengthening accountability frameworks—key drivers in unlocking the full economic potential of public assets.

He noted that prudent management and strategic utilization of these assets can significantly contribute to cost savings, revenue generation, and improved public service delivery.

Accompanied by Mr. Eric Korir, Director of Public Procurement, the PS further observed that the Government has invested in robust infrastructure that, if effectively leveraged, can accelerate service delivery and support broader economic transformation objectives.

KEDPA technical staff, including Mr. Samuel Wanjohi and Mr. Charles Aruasa, both Supply Chain Management Officers,  highlighted ongoing efforts to streamline asset management processes and enhance value realization.

The visit underscores the State Department’s focus on ensuring that public investments deliver measurable economic returns while supporting efficiency and sustainability in service delivery.
