Mandera County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2022

Abstract

The Mandera County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP 2022) is prepared as provided under section 117 of PFM Act of 2012. It sets out the county priority programmes to be implemented during the financial year 2022/2023 and over the MTEF period. Preparation of this document has been done through collaborated effort and therefore reflects the needs of people of Mandera County. The document has been aligned to key National and County policy documents which include and not limited to; the Kenya Vision 2030, MTP III 2018-2022, Mandera County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP 2018-2022) and County Annual Development Plan (CADP 2022/2023), Governor’s manifesto, the ‘BIG FOUR’ National agenda and the Kenya Vision 2030. The paper is also aligned with the national objectives contained in the Budget Policy Statement (Draft BPS 2022), in this regards, the policy goals, priority programs and fiscal framework are aligned to support achievement of the objectives of the Second CIDP and ultimately the Vision 2030. The expenditure priorities in this CFSP have been critically reviewed to ensure that they are in accordance to the County Government strategic priorities. In addition, the County has already initiated a number of revenue reforms and will continue to invest in technology geared towards automating additional revenue streams. These reforms are expected to make revenue payment more convenient and increase Own Source of Revenue which will help in financing future County Budgets. As we finalize preparation of the budget for the FY 2022/23, we are clearly conscious of our limited fiscal space occasioned by revenue shortfalls and rising expenditure pressures.
