ROLE OF SUPPLY CHAIN RISK MANAGEMENT ON PROCUREMENT PERFORMANCE IN COUNTY GOVERNMENTS IN KENYA

Abstract: County Governments in Kenya have undertaken projects that have failed to meet the intended objectives largely due to increased risk and uncertainty in supply chain. The general objective of this research project is to establish the role of supply chain risk management on procurement performance; case study of Kericho County Government. The objectives of the study were: to determine how supply chain risk identification, supply chain risk assessment, supply chain risk mitigation and supply chain risk monitoring influences procurement performance. Descriptive research design was adopted where target population of 400 respondents drawn from both technical and support departments. Sample size of 120 respondents was utilized using stratified random sampling design. Questionnaires were used as the research instrument. Quantitative data was presented in tables and multiple regression analysis was used in development of the research model. The outcome of the research points out that the independent variable has good explanatory power and significant. The study recommends that: County Governments should develop mechanisms for identification of risks; develop and implement appropriate mechanisms for analysis and evaluation of risks; undertake risk mitigation planning to mitigate against risks and; ensure appropriate risk control and monitoring management strategies are developed and implemented.

Keywords: supply chain risk identification, supply chain risk assessment, supply chain risk mitigation and supply chain risk monitoring.
