The desideratum of this discourse was to unpack the nexus of good governance, effective procurement and prevention of corruption at workplace. Money can corrupt the virtuous. Efficient public procurement is key to enhancing state portfolio in infrastructure, health, education and other public services, making it central to state efforts to enhance living standard. Efficient public procurement has a nexus with good governance. The questionnaire method was considered appropriate to collect and analyses data from the respondents. Different questionnaire and interviews were administered to every respondent. Collusion and corruption are distinct challenges within public procurement, yet they may regularly occur in tandem and have mutually added fuel to the fire impact. A good example of collusion and corruption is the alleged chain effect of the Fish rot scandal in Namibia. They are optimally perceived, therefore, as concomitant threats to the integrity of public procurement. We should accept the hypothesis that states: There are possible challenges to a rigorous tendering process in the procurement of learning support materials. We discovered that 61.5% of the respondents stated that the procurement process has made it much worse in curbing corruption. While 15.3% indicated that it had made it a little worse in curbing corruption. 7.6% of the respondents highlighted that the procurement process had made it the more or the same in curbing corruption.15% of the participants specified that the procurement process has made it better in curbing corruption. We recommend that installing motion sensitive cameras in places of procurement meetings will address corruption issues.
