It provides an opportunity to reflect on the successes, failures and challenges experienced during the year as well as draw lessons from the challenges to inform future programming and project implementation. The BROP affords such an opportunity to government entities of which the County Government of Siaya is one. This BROP gives a detailed analysis of actual fiscal performance of the County Government of Siaya for FY 2017/18 against the approved budgetary allocations for the said FY. From the analysis, overall absorption rate for FY 2017/18 was 66.8 percent a declined by 12.2 percent from the previous fiscal year which had an absorption rate of 89 percent. Absorption rate of development budget was 11 percent of the total budget a decline from 62.7 percent for FY 2016/17. For recurrent expenditure absorption rate was 55.4 percent a decline from FY 2016/17 which was 110 percent. Local revenue collection realized 47 percent performance compared to 64 percent performance in the FY 2016/17 The low rate of absorption both for recurrent and development expenditure was attributed to the prolonged political tension after the 2017 general elections which caused disruption of business activities, inadequacy in county legislations hindered collection of revenue from other potential streams of revenue especially liquor licensing. Besides, stringent conditionalities imposed by the national treasury to access funds slowed down implementation of key programmes and projects.

From the analysis, overall absorption rate for FY 2016/17 increased by 11 percentage points as compared to FY 2015/16 which had an absorption rate of 78 percent. Absorption rate of development budget was 63 percent compared to 56.8 percent for FY 2015/16. This achievement was realised despite the resource envelope for FY 2016/17 exceeding that for FY 2015/16. The year to year comparison of Own Source Revenue (OSR) for FY 2016/17 and 2015/16 showed an increase of 27.5 percent. These achievements are testament of sustained managerial changes aimed at improving service delivery. The 2016/17 budget was implemented on the backdrop of heightened political activities preceding the 2017 general elections. Stringent conditionalities imposed by the national treasury to access funds slowed down implementation of key programmes and projects. This notwithstanding, overall performance was satisfactory and the lessons learnt will inform managerial decisions in future.

The updated macroeconomic outlook therein also provides us with a basis to revise the 2016/17 budget in the context of the Supplementary Estimates, as well as setting out the broad fiscal parameters for the next budget and medium term. The 2015/16 FY had its fair share of challenges arising from the county operating on a 50% budget for the larger part of the year. Despite these challenges, the overall performance of the county was satisfactory. The lessons learnt will inform managerial decisions aimed at improving the county’s performance in the medium term. In order to build on the successes of the 2015/16 FY, the county will continue to invest on priority areas as envisaged in the 2016/17 Fiscal Strategy Paper despite expenditure pressures from other competing sectors.
