Abstract/ Overview
The FY 2017/2018 Programme Based Budget Estimates for West Pokot County sets out the administration’s priority programs to be implemented in the Medium Term Expenditure Framework under the devolved system of government. Program-Based budgeting is a process through which inputs or resources are linked to results proposed. It makes explicit the purposes of spending and the results to be achieved. Proposed results are defined as outputs and outcomes and performance indicators are used to track these results. Further, Programmes are designed to ensure strong linkage between policy, planning and budgeting. The two levels of Government, in a meeting of the Inter-Governmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC) held on 21st February 2017 agreed on measures to be undertaken by the two levels of Government to address challenges facing devolution. These measures include the need of the Counties to borrow from the National Treasury to cushion them from exploitative Commercial Banks and the need to increase allocation of County Roads from 15 percent to 25 percent (fuel levy) to maintain county roads.A further Ksh 2 billion was agreed for allocation to vocational Training centers in counties as well as formation of a committee to evaluate county assets and liabilities. The County Government of West Pokot is committed to ensuring the success of devolution. In this regard, the need for continued fiscal discipline and prudent utilization of public resources is emphasized. This therefore calls for greater transparency and accountability in public finance management at the county level
