economy, ensuring that officers adhere to it is still a main challenge. In many

due to nepotism. They defy the principles of procurement code of conduct including
accountability, efficiency and effectiveness, legitimacy, professionalism, integrity

appeal of rights. The authors recommend that all organisational units and
governments adopt public procurement system and emphasise on adherence to its
rules and regulations. It is only through adherence to public procurement regulations
that the governments and organizational units can achieve maximum economic
growth and development.
