The General Manager for Supply Chain scoops a continental honour in Lagos for reshaping Kenya’s energy procurement
By John Kariuki
Kenya Power’s General Manager for Supply Chain, Dr. John Ngeno, was yesterday named Africa’s Public Sector Procurement Trailblazer of the Year at the 8th Africa Procurement and Supply Chain Conference and Awards (APSCHA 2026) in Lagos, Nigeria.
The award recognises Ngeno’s leadership in repositioning procurement as a strategic driver of economic growth, sustainability and institutional performance. He is widely regarded as one of Africa’s leading procurement professionals, and has championed supply chain innovations that have strengthened Kenya’s energy sector while raising the bar for public procurement across the continent.
His achievements have also earned him the cover of Procurement and Supply Chain Africa Magazine, which spotlights his role in transforming supply chain management within Kenya’s power sector.
Accepting the award, Ngeno said procurement goes far beyond buying goods and services. “When procurement creates jobs, empowers local enterprises, supports clean mobility and strengthens regional connectivity, it becomes a catalyst for shared prosperity and inclusive development across Africa,” he said.
Under his watch, Kenya Power has adopted modern, transparent and efficient procurement practices that have improved operational performance and delivered better value for customers. His approach has demonstrated that procurement is not a back-office function — it is a pillar of organisational success and national development.
Kenya Power congratulated Ngeno on the honour, describing it as a reflection of his professionalism, integrity and drive for excellence, adding that his leadership continues to inspire a new generation of procurement professionals across the continent.
