Kisii County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2023

Abstract

This County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) is the first one prepared in the implementation of the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2023-27 in the realisation of the County’s aspiration of “prosperity for all” under the leadership of H.E Paul Simba Arati. It outlines the current state of the economy concerning the County, provides a macro-fiscal outlook over the medium term, and specifies the set strategic priorities and policy goals together with a summary of Government spending plans, as a basis for the FY 2023/24 budget and medium term. As we prepare the budget for the FY 2023/24 and the medium term, I wish to emphasise that resources are limited while at the same time, the Government is confronted with significant expenditure demands including financing the Post COVID-19 Recovery strategies and the County priorities identified by the public during public participation on the CIDP 2023-2027 and H.E Paul Simba Arati’s priorities as presented in the FY 2023/234 ADP. The priorities identified include Devolution and Governance; Wealth Creation; Social Development; Sustainable Environmental Conservation; and Enablers and ICT. These priorities are aligned with the pillars of the Kenya Vision 2030, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Africa Agenda 2063. Therefore, the focus of this Policy is to safeguard livelihoods, jobs, businesses
