Siaya County Programme Based Budget 2019/2020

Abstract

The county marked an important milestone by preparing the second County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2018-2022. This follows successful implementation of the first CIDP 2013-2017 whose theme was to ‘‘Transform Siaya through: socioeconomic empowerment, agribusiness and infrastructural development’’. The last five years represented the foundation phase of economic development in all sectors of the county economy notably; agriculture, infrastructure, water, trade, health, education and social security as well as ICT. This is the first Supplementary Programme Based Budget to be prepared during the FY 2019/20. The document has been prepared in compliance with the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and the Public Finance Management Act 2012. It draws content from the ward public fora held across the county, 2019/20 Annual Development Plan and Fiscal Strategy Paper 2019/20 prepared by the County Executive and adopted by the County Assembly. The rationale for preparation of this Supplementary Programme Based Budget is to incorporate the additional National Government transfers through the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA)-2019 of Kshs. 153,950,000 (consisting of Kshs. 118,950,000 as aequitable share and Kshs. 35,000,000 as grant towards water tower protection) so as to reflect the prevailing fiscal environment, to reconcile the figure of balances brought forward from FY 2018/19 with the figure earlier captured in the June2019 approved Budget and to align the ceilings on recurrent expenditure for County Executive and County Assembly as per the CARA-2019
