The main purpose of this particular study was to assess effectiveness of the centralized public property disposal process in the case of Public Procurement and Property Disposal Service. For the total target population was only 40 employees who have direct involvement in the centralized public property disposal process and as this number is manageable an operation called census was conducted to select respondents in the study. The study used both quantitative and qualitative data sourced from the primary and secondary sources. Structured questionnaire and semi structured interview were used to obtain the primary data while the secondary data was sourced from various documents. Both descriptive and explanatory research design were also deployed to analyze the gathered data in this study with the help of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS version 24). From descriptive analysis finding the overall centralized property disposal process was revealed good in effectiveness but not fully effective. The finding of the confirmed that asset valuation has statistically significant positive effect on the effectiveness of the centralized public property disposal process at 1 percent significant level while legal framework and staff competency have significant positive effect on effect on the effectiveness of the process at 5 percent significant level. Poor recording and documentation practice in the beneficiary public bodies, in limitation of the asset valuation method (equation) and the gap in the legal framework were also identified as major challenge that hider the effectiveness of the centralized public property disposal. Therefore, in order to enhance the effectiveness of the process and assure value for money, the concerned regulatory bodies together with PPPDS need to revise the asset valuation equation and the legal frame work based on the identified gaps. There is also a need to improve the fixed asset recording and documentation practice of the beneficiary public bodies through continuous trainings and regular follow up.
