Public Procurement Practices and Service Delivery: A Case of Kisoro District Local Government. by Nyiramfite, Emily

“…The study's findings revealed that factors affecting service delivery in Kisoro District Local Governments included poor infrastructure, corruption, integrity risk, a lack of sufficient financial resources, and poor communication. In light of these findings, it was recommended that the government should invest more in the will to expand the political capacity necessary to implement and enforce the very comprehensive procurement regulations and prepare a proper and comprehensive procurement legal framework and that the government, in its bid to develop Uganda, should focus on fighting corruption in public procurement, which manifests itself in bribery of evaluation and tender board members, facility payments, embezzlement, influence peddling, favoritism, and conflict of interest. …”
