Nyamira County Budget Review and Outlook Paper 2017

Abstract

The County Budget Review and Outlook Paper (CBROP) 2017 is prepared in accordance with Public Financial Management Act, 2012 section 118(1). It is the fourth to be prepared under the devolved system of Government. It presents the fiscal outcome for FY 2016/17 and how this affects the financial objectives set out in the 2017/18 budget. It also discusses the implications of the current and past fiscal position on the MTEF period from 2018/19-2020/2021. The updated macroeconomic outlook therein provides a basis to review the 2017/18 budget in the context of the Supplementary Estimates, as well as setting out the broad fiscal parameters for the next medium term framework budget. The CBROP 2017 comes at a time when the conclusion of MTP 11 and the first CIDP 2013-2017 is taking place. This is ushering in a new era of MTP 111 and CIDP 2018-2022 which forms a new basis for future county planning for the next five years. In the MTEF period, the county planning would take a sectoral approach, where 10 sector plans would be developed to inform the MTP 111 and CIDP 2018-2022 thematic areas. In addition, the CBROP 2017 came at a time of national general elections which were held in August 8th 2017. During the compilation of this document, the country was still in campaigning mood because the general elections prompted a fresh presidential election. In the new political re-alignments, The Governors re-election manifesto, inaugural speech and priority shift are expected to take precedence in the MTEF period.
