Bungoma County Budget Review and Outlook Paper 2018

Abstract

In preparation of the FY 2018/19 budget, emphasis will be put on high priority and strategic service delivery programmes that will continue to build on the strong desire to transform the county. More specifically, County Departments and Agencies (CDAs) are advised to observe strict adherence to H.E The President’s directive to freeze all new projects until completion of ongoing ones. This will improve efficiency of our public investment, streamline spending and reduce waste. As provided for in the CIDP 2018 -2022, CDA programming will be anchored on the four thematic sectors covered under The Big Four as prioritized in the Third Medium Term Plan (MTP 2018-2022). Therefore, Sector Working Groups are called upon to adhere to the hard sector expenditure ceilings and to rationalize all programs to ensure that only those projects that are aligned to the Big Four are given consideration in resource allocation. Particular emphasis should be put on high priority and strategic service delivery programmes that provide value for money.
