Abstract

This is the 2017/2018 County Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP) for Kisumu prepared as a pre-requisite to the budget for 2017/2018 which is the year when the next general elections will be held. For this reason the preparation of the FSP has come about three months earlier in order to meet the budget deadline of 31st March 2017. The paper highlights the legal framework underlying the fiscal responsibility for the County Government while reviewing the recent economic development and laying emphasis on the fiscal policy outlook and its determinant factors. It determines the resource envelope and criteria for sharing the funds among the county departments and entities. The paper also highlights the priority programmes earmarked for implementation in the FY 2017/2018 for each department.
