This is not a full answer, but according to this explanation I think the question asks whether $\Gamma(k, k \lambda) \geq e^{-\lambda} \Gamma(k)$ when $k \in Z^+$, and $\lambda \in (0, 1)$.

Edit: Some answers to this math.se questionthis math.se question have lower bounds for the upper incomplete gamma function.

This is not a full answer, but I according to this explanation I think thisthe question can be rewritten as askingasks whether

$\Gamma(k, k \lambda) \geq e^{-\lambda} (k-1)!$

where $\Gamma$ is the upper incomplete gamma function,$\Gamma(k, k \lambda) \geq e^{-\lambda} \Gamma(k)$ when $k \in Z^+$, and $\lambda \in (0, 1)$.
