Government contracts awarded to marginalised groups hit Sh45.1 billion for the first time in the financial year to June 2023 amid reforms by the State aimed at revealing beneficial owners of firms that win public tenders.

It is the highest allocation to women, youths and persons living with disability (PWDs) through the Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO) on record, according to data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS).
