Nyamira County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2015

Abstract

The 2015 Nyamira County Government Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP 2015) is the second to be prepared since the inception of the County Government. It sets out the framework for the preparation of the 2015/16 budget as required under Section 117 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012. It articulates economic policies and sector based expenditure programmes that the County intends to implement in line with the County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017, departmental strategic plans and The Governor’s manifesto. The paper also takes into account national policies and priorities as espoused by the national Budget Policy Statement (BPS 2015) as provided for by the legislation. This paper provides the basis for trade-off between our priorities at sector level. Our continued fiscal discipline has enabled us to achieve the thirty percent threshold of the capital expenditure in the FY 2014/15. Going forward, we will continue to control spending on recurrent expenditure to achieve the 40 percent target for the county while at the same time improve efficiency in revenue collection.
