In addressing the latter, the research aimed at establishing how organizational structure, legal and regulatory framework, cost of green procurement and firm resources capacity affect the implementation of green procurement in manufacturing sector. The beneficiaries will include; the management, employees and stakeholders in Unga Limited Kenya. Descriptive research design was used and a stratified random sampling method to pick a sample of the respondents who were provided with the questionnaires. The target population comprised 126 employees from Unga Limited Kenya. A sample of 56 respondents from within each group in proportions that each group bear to the population as whole was taken using Slovin’s formula: n=N/ (1+Ne²). The data collected were analyzed by use of descriptive and inferential statistics. The quantitative data generated was keyed in and analyzed by use of Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) to generate information which was being presented using tables, charts, frequencies and percentages. The linear regression model was used to show the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables. The findings indicated that, currently there is lack of Structural and organizational change to support implementation of green procurement, poor legal and regulatory framework. Moreover, the cost of green procurement is relatively high and the resources required to implement green procurement are limited in manufacturing sector.
