Kericho County Budget Review and Outlook Paper 2020

Abstract

The paper reviews fiscal performance of the county for the 2019/202020 Financial Year while comparing it with the budget appropriation. In addition, it provides information on changes in forecasts as indicated in the County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) 2020; and how actual financial performance for the Financial Year 2019/2020 may have affected compliance with the fiscal responsibility principles, or the county financial objectives for that year. It further gives reasons for any deviation from the county financial objectives in the fiscal strategy paper together with proposals to address the deviations. The updated economic and financial outlook presented in this paper will set out the broad fiscal parameters for preparation of the next budget. In particular, the provisional ceilings presented are intended to act as a guide to sector working groups in preparing their budgets.
