The public sectors play an active role through its involvement in the execution and delivery of public projects in order to improve the quality of life of the citizens. The kind of procurement method used in securing a project is vital to the success of a given project. The stakeholder’s input should be taken in accordance with their particular concern on different project definition elements, so that their involvement reflects the degree of their importance and relevance to the project. This review sought to establish the role of stakeholder engagement in project procurement in the Kenyan public sector. The study found that stakeholders are vital to the ethical decision making in project procurement and ultimately the successful completion of a project because their unwillingness to continuously support the vision or objectives of the project leads many projects to fail. Therefore, there is a need to engage the stakeholder in the project as early as possible to determine the need and capture stakeholder inputs in such projects.
