Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has barred 2 companies from engaging in public procurement and asset disposal.
In a gazette notice dated Friday, November 15, the CS debarred Sanali Limited and Efranjivercity Limited as provided for in the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Regulations, 2020.
Mbadi noted the move to suspend the companies from doing business with government institutions resulted from false information that was provided by the firms.
The ban will take effect for 3 years from the date of gazettement.

Notably, the ban will be enforced across all government institutions including county governments and state-run corporations.
However details of the date of the offence were not revealed in the notice.
"Sanali Limited and Efranjivercity Limited have been debarred by the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority from participating in Public Procurement and Asset Disposal proceedings, on the grounds specified under section 41 (1) (d) of the Act, for a period of three (3) years, with effect from the 20th August," read the notice in part.
As provided for in the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act companies can be barred from engaging in business with the government for 12 reasons including providing false information about the qualification of the company.
Other reasons for debarment include poor performance, corruption and defaulting in the payment of tax.
