Tharaka Nithi County Programme Based Budget 2020/2021

Abstract

The 2022/2023 budget is the First budget that has been prepared to implement the second generation County Integrated development plan (2018-2022). It is also the third Budget to be implemented since the 2017 general election that ushered in a new government. This budget is thus geared towards implementing the manifesto of the new government whose priorities have been anchored in the CIDP. The county has continued to mobilize resources in order to address the challenges facing the citizens in the different sectors. This has required putting in place measures to increase revenue collection and mobilize donor funding for key strategic program. On the other hand, the high wage bill has continued to be a major stumbling block to development funding which currently comprises more than 45% of total county revenue
