Kakamega County Approved Budget Estimates 2017/2018

Abstract

The 2017/2018 Budget is tabled at a time when first term of county government is ending and expectations continue to be high for performance. Over the 2017/18- MTEF period expenditure is Ksh 13.169 billion, which will grow at an average annual rate of 6 per cent of the revised budget. During consultations in the budget preparation process trade-offs in financing different policy objectives were carefully examined and culminated in recommendations on how policies, practices and organizational arrangements would be adjusted in line with the national Treasury Budget Policy Statement and other key policy documents including County Fiscal Strategy Paper- 2017/18, County Integrated Development Plan of 2013-2017, the Annual Development Plan and the County Governor Manifesto and in a manner consistent with fiscal consolidation. For the 2017/18 MTEF period, budget has been prepared through the reprioritization of existing funding within the expenditure ceiling, with movements away from areas of lower priority to key priorities areas.
