This is the fourth County fiscal strategy paper (CFSP 2016) for County government of Kakamega prepared by the County Treasury. This paper has been prepared at a time when the First term of County government is coming to an end. This means that it is prepared to take into account the changed priorities that would be included in the County Integrated Development Plan of the next term of the new government (2018- 2022). It sets out the County priority programs to be implemented in the Medium Term expenditure Framework (MTEF) in the FY 2017/2018-2019/20. It is prepared in line with requirements of PFM Act of 2012 Section 117. Kakamega County has witnessed tremendous economic development including improved infrastructure, revitalized agricultural sector, and massive investments in education and health sectors since the inception of county governments. In addition, the continued development of modern markets are expected to boost the volume of trade which has a multiplier effect in job creation, increased incomes and opening up of opportunities for entrepreneurial growth in the County.
