This study examines the potential of public e-procurement to serve as a means to counteract corruption in Somalia. Coupled with Generalized Linear Regression (GLM), survey research design is employed to investigate the dynamics between different e-procurement components and factors associated with corruption, such as monopoly power, asymmetric information, transparency, and accountability. The research focuses on ministries and government departments in Mogadishu, encompassing all 25 federal ministries in the sample. The findings reveal that public e-procurement is linked to a reduction in monopoly power, indicating a decline in the influence of single suppliers in the market. Additionally, e-procurement diminishes asymmetric information in the procurement process, promoting fairness and equal access to information for all stakeholders. The study further confirmed a positive relationship between e-procurement adoption and heightened transparency and accountability within public procurement processes. The implications of these findings are significant for policymakers, underscoring the value of investing in e-procurement infrastructure to foster integrity, operational efficiency, and public trust in the realm of public procurement
