Influence of Human Capital Competency in the Implementation of the Public Procurement Procedures in Sub Counties of Uasingishu County, Kenya

The devolved government structure has shifted the resources allocation and public expenditure into the county government to enable faster service delivery to Kenyans. The devolution has thus created the capacity for the county governments to be allocated development resources from the national resources as well as to collect revenues from the citizens in their jurisdiction. This study sought to examine the role of the human capital competency on the implementation of the public procurement. The study was based on the survey descriptive study design as the researcher is interested in posing a series of questions. The primary data was collected using the structured questionnaires. A sample frame of 119 respondents was used for the study. The data instrument validity was examined using the content validity while the cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.7 and above was used for the data reliability. The SPSS version 21 software was used for the data analysis. The study recommended that the county government should pay keen attention of the technical skills of its procurement officials through recruitment, professional exposures in conferences and seminars, and in house training.
