Act 2004 and its Regulations of 2005 at Ministry of Agriculture/ Food Security and
Cooperation (MAFC), a sample of 30 respondents were selected. Data were collected
through interview, questionnaires, documentary review and observation.
Questionnaires were issued filled and used for data analysis, and the collected data
were screened, coded and analyzed quantitatively. Simple statistical packages were
used to aid data analysis in terms of frequencies and percentages.
The researcher found that MAFC implement public procurement Act of 2004 and its
Regulations 2005 in moderate capacity in the procurement process. Some of the
factors that accounted to this include lack of funds for training personnel in
procurement department and other user department, the study found several
challenges that affect the implementation of PPA 2004 and its Regulations.
Therefore special efforts are needed especially from the top management to solve the
challenges facing in the Ministry by setting aside the funds for training personnel in
each department for improving procurement process by using PPA 2004 and its
Regulations 2005. The researcher conclude that MAFC is implementing procurement
