Nairobi County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2019

Abstract

The 2019/20 Fiscal Strategy Paper provides a broad overview of the Government’s Economic Policy Framework for rolling out the second phase of implementation of the County Integrated Development Plan 2018 – 2022. This paper has been prepared in the backdrop of slowed performance of revenues at the local level and with prospects of budget cuts from National Treasury. There remains some degree of uncertainty with regard to the conclusiveness of the proposed third basis for revenue sharing as proposed by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). Further, strong indications of a compressed sharable revenue allocation points to a tighter operating environment in the coming days.
