dc.description.abstract | The county total revenue has significantly increased over the years as the Government
focus on enhanced services to the citizens. In Kiambu County, total revenue increased
from Ksh 7.8 billion in 2013/14 to Ksh 15.48 billion in 2020/21 with an average growth
rate of 14.06 per cent. During 2020/21, the County received 100 per cent of the annual
budget allocation, significant improvement from 91.4 per cent received in 2019/20. This
highlights the commitment of the National Government to support county operations
through timely financing. Conditional grants are a major source of revenue for financing
county operations and has been growing over the years. The County receives conditional
grants from the National Government and development partners mainly from World
Bank and Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA), European Union (EU)
and Sweden. The share of OSR to the total revenue has similarly been robust. Pending
bills in Kiambu county generally follow an upward trend. In 2014/15 the county reported
Ksh 609.0 million in pending bills. This increased to Ksh. 920.3 million in 2016/17 with
development spending related pending bills accounting for 60.0 per cent of this. To steer
the county towards achieving its budgetary objective and development goals contained in
the ADPs and CIDP, the county government need to mobilize more finances from OSR to
increase the available revenues for budgetary operations, seek for more funding in form
of grants from development partners to cater for the critical development projects in the
county, ensure that the ongoing projects are completed before launching new project and
clear any pending bills and arrears owed to suppliers and ensure the ongoing infrastructure
project are completed and suppliers paid within the specified timelines for optimal returns
to investment and to spur private sector activity. | en |
