Kwale County Annual Development Plan 2020/2021

Abstract

The County Government in the financial year 2020/2021 anticipates revenues amounting to Ksh 9,174,404,147.00 from all sources. Out of this Ksh5,469,844,547.00 which amounts to 59.6 percent of the total income, will be for recurrent expenditures while Ksh3,706,559,600.00 which translates to 40.4 percent will be earmarked for development. Revenue collection will be strengthened with the enactment of new revenue laws and the Finance bill and also the automation of revenue collection system. This is expected to raise our own source revenue to beef up the revenues from other sources. Rationalization of public spending especially on recurrent items will be undertaken to save on resources and reallocate them to our development priorities. The County will ensure that there is optimum allocation of resources and that there is prudent expenditure management to utilize resources efficiently and effectively. This plan will continue the implementation of the strategic programmes identified in the five main strategic areas namely;(i)enhancing education to create a robust and skilled human resource base(ii)investing in infrastructure including roads, water supply systems, industrial plants, markets and energy connectivity(iii)guaranteeing access to universal health care through improved services and health insurance cover for all(iv) expanding food and agricultural production through farm mechanization, strengthening extension services, livestock development and promotion of the Blue economy(v)strengthening land tenure systems, sustainable management of the environment and natural resources for improved livelihood.
