Nyandarua County Programme Based Budget 2022/2023

Abstract

The County Government is currently implementing the fifth Annual Budget and has prepared the budget estimates for the FY 2022/23. The FY 2022/23 is significant as it falls within a government transition period. This background sets the premise to pursue completion of the incomplete projects whilst focusing on programmes that have the highest impact on the county citizenry for the attainment of the County’s Transformative Agenda. The crudity of the COVID-19 pandemic has dissipated. However, its effects are still felt with gradual improvement noted in the socio-economic facets of the county residents. This further reiterates the need to take into consideration direct interventions in the County programmes that are to alleviate the socio-economic status and welfare of residents. The Budget making process is a cycle that starts in August when the Budget Circular is prepared by the County Treasury up to June the subsequent year when the Appropriation Act is enacted as provided by the PFM Act, 2012 and its Regulations. Following a circular issued by the National Treasury last year, the County Treasury was required to expedite the preparation of the budget for the next Financial Year given change in the calendars for both the County Assembly and The National Assembly.
