Narok County Programme Based Budget 2023/2024

Abstract

The Core mandate of County Assembly is to legislate and ensure good governance through the oversight role of Assembly. For this to be achieved, budget provision is made to improve capacity for Members of County Assembly to make laws, fully participate in the Budget making process and also improve capacity for staff through capacity building programmes and also leveraging usage of information communication technology. These will entail adequate funding to ensure that County Assembly efficiently and effectively fulfills constitutional functions in a representative system of County Government. Among the key achievements of the assembly in the FY 2022/2023 are; passing of budget and appropriation and finance bill. During the same period, the County Assembly experienced challenges relating to delay in disbursement of funds from the National Treasury. This together with other constraints affected implementation of budget and hence service delivery. Thus, the budget options for 2023/2024 recognizes these challenges to the economy and proposes some measures to reduce the expenditure pressures and accord the country some fiscal space. A major consideration in FY 2023/2024 budget priority is the need for capacity building of the Members of the County Assembly and preparing for effective delivery of the mandate of the County Assembly as per the constitution of Kenya and the County Government Act 2012.
