Siaya County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2019

Abstract

The Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP) sets out broad development priorities and policy interventions that will guide the county government in budgeting for the coming year and in the medium term. The preparation of this paper is guided by section 117 of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act 2012. Section 117(1) of the PFM Act 2012 requires the county treasury to submit the fiscal strategy paper to the County Executive Committee for approval and thereafter table the approved copy in the county assembly for adoption. In preparing the fiscal strategy paper, the county government should align its development priorities with those of the national government as captured in the budget policy statement. In addition, CFSP draws largely from the ADP. In preparation of the CFSP fiscal responsibility principles set out in the PFM Act 2012 have been adhered to. Finally, the CFSP incorporates views of relevant national government entities, members of the public and any other interested group
