Baringo County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2025
(County Government of Baringo, 2025) County Government of Baringo
The 2025 County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) is formulated in alignment with the national development agenda as outlined in the 2025 Budget Policy Statement (BPS). This CFSP, the third to be prepared under the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP), reflects the county’s commitment to advancing the National and County frameworks including governors manifesto, Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA); Fourth Medium-Term Plan of Vision 2030 and the County integrated development Plan CIDP) among others. The CFSP serves as a strategic framework to guide resource allocation and implementation of priority programs aimed at fostering economic resilience and inclusive growth within the county.
The main sources of county revenue, in the medium term, will be the equitable share, conditional grants, local revenue collections and donor funding. In the FY 2024/2024 and the medium term, the County Government proposes a series of measures to increase revenue and balance its fiscal spending. The County will focus on broadening the capital base through increased revenue streams with a view to stimulate economic growth and development. This paper, therefore, puts into perspective how the County anticipates expending its scarce resources in the FY 2024/2025 and the medium term.
The preparation of the 2025 CFSP occurs against a backdrop of stable global and domestic economic projections. Global growth is expected to stabilize at 3.2 percent in 2024 and 3.3 percent in 2025, while Kenya’s economic growth is projected to recover to 5.3 percent in 2025, supported by enhanced agricultural productivity, a resilient services sector, and ongoing implementation of BETA priorities. At the county level, the focus will be on implementing strategic interventions that spur local economic growth, improve service delivery, and promote sustainable development
Given the constrained fiscal environment, resource allocation in the 2025/26 budget and the medium-term framework will be driven by prioritization of high-impact programs while eliminating non-essential expenditures. County departments and agencies will be required to reevaluate ongoing and planned projects to ensure alignment with the county’s development priorities. Emphasis will be placed on the completion and operationalization of stalled or near-complete projects to maximize value for money and enhance service delivery.

Bomet County Annual Development Plan 2025/2026
(County Government of Bomet, 2025) County Government of Bomet
The County Annual Development Plan (CADP) for the FY 2025/2026 has been prepared in accordance with Article 220(2) of the Constitution of Kenya and Section 126 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012. This plan outlines the priority development programs and projects identified for implementation during the FY 2025/2026, aimed at addressing the development challenges facing the County to achieve its medium-term vision.
The CADP is prepared annually as part of the implementation of the five-year County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP), which serves as the guiding development blueprint for the County for the period 2023-2027. The development of this plan was consultative, inclusive, and participatory, aligning with international, regional, national, and county development agendas, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Vision 2030, its Medium-Term Plan IV, and the Governor’s Manifesto. Accordingly, the CADP identifies the County’s development objectives across all sectors and proposes programs designed to meet these objectives.
By reviewing the performance of the previous year, this plan provides a critical analysis of the gains that need to be consolidated and outlines strategies for addressing the challenges encountered in future plans.
This document will guide the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework budgeting process for the financial year 2025/2026, including the preparation of the County Fiscal Strategy Paper, 2025, and ultimately the budget estimates for FY 2025/2026. It is important to note that the County Government's resource basket remains insufficient to finance all the projects and programs proposed in the CADP. Therefore, to bridge the funding gaps and achieve the development aspirations of the people of Bomet, there is a need for resource mobilization by identifying and engaging development partners and other stakeholders, as well as enhancing own-source revenue collection.

The County priorities and goals outlined herein are based on the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP), Governor’s manifesto and the County Annual Development Plan for Financial year 2025/2026. The expenditure priorities in the Sector ceilings in this Fiscal Strategy Paper have been aligned to the Budget Policy Statement, specifically the strategic interventions articulated in the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) and anchored on the Fourth Medium Term Plan of the vision 2030.
Measures will be put in place to ensure prudent expenditure and revenue management to improve the county government’s fiscal position. The County Government will adopt new measures aimed at improving own source revenue collection. This includes implementation of the Revenue Enhancement Strategy, adoption of new revenue system, improving technical capacity of staff in Revenue Department and development of revenue bills and policies which are aimed at strengthening local revenue performance. The new administrative measures already in place and policy strategies set to be implemented are expected to create a significant positive impact on own source revenue collection. The County Treasury, therefore, will identify various streams of revenue that are meant to tap resources in achieving the target. The measures being put in place will zeal potential loopholes on revenue leakages.
