| dc.description.abstract | The County Budget Review and Outlook Paper (CBROP) 2019 has been prepared in line with
the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and Section 107 of the PFM Act, 2012. It presents the fiscal
outcome for FY 2018/2019 and the outlook in the medium-term period. The updated
macroeconomic outlook provides a basis to revise the 2019/2020 budget in the context of the
supplementary estimates, as well as setting out the broad fiscal parameters for the next
medium-term framework budget.
In terms of resources mobilization, the county realized Kshs.6,684,626,916 against a target
of Kshs.6,959,073,379 in 2018/2019. This included locally generated revenue amounting to
Khs.165 million an increase from Kshs.97 million raised in 2017/2018. Despite the good
performance in local revenue generation, it still fell short of the Kshs. 255 million targets for
the year. A number of measures have been put in place in order to address challenges of local
revenue including automation of revenue collection as well as review of the Finance Act.
On expenditure, the County absorbed Ksh.5,624,185,110 against a target of Kshs. 6,959,073,379.
The expenditure comprised of Ksh.1,142,700,781 and Ksh.4,481,484,329 as development and
recurrent expenditures respectively and represented an absorption rate of 20% for development
while recurrent absorption rate was 80%. This is a challenge that will be addressed by ensuring
timely procurement and strengthening monitoring of progress of development projects | en |
