The Auditor-General has flagged under-allocation of tenders to marginalised businesses by Kenya Power in the year ended June 2025, even as the firm awarded deals worth Sh3.5 billion to the groups.

The Auditor-General, Nancy Gathungu, says that the firm failed to meet the constitutional requirement that mandates all State-owned entities to reserve 30 percent of all tenders for businesses owned by youth, women, and persons with disabilities under Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (Agpo).
