| dc.description.abstract | The 2016 County Budget Review and Outlook Paper (CBROP) prepared by the County
Treasury, provides a review of the fiscal performance made by the County government of Tana
River during the financial year 2015/2016. It also makes comparisons to the budget
appropriations of the same year and provides insight on recent economic developments and the
updated economic and financial forecast along with information to show changes from the
forecast in the County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) of 2015.
The County Treasury continues to enforce the fiscal responsibility principles in accordance with
the Constitution, and the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012, (Section 107).
The county government’s recurrent and development expenditures remained within the legal
thresholds as per the PFMA, 2012. However, recurrent related expenses like the rising wage bill
without commensurate service delivery posses a major challenge to the County’s development
agenda. In addition, the county’s growth and development agenda will largely depend on how
well the programme based budget is implemented as well as how fast people and business get to
full capacity and produce and sell at optimum levels... | en_US |
