| dc.description.abstract | The draft budget estimates for financial year 2020/2021 were prepared in line with the County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2020. The budget estimates prioritized ongoing projects started in previous financial years and submissions from public participation. The estimates were also guided by the strategic interventions identified in the draft County Integrated Development Plan 2018-2022 and the Big Four National Agenda.
The estimates focus on laying ground for implementation of the key result areas identified in the Annual Development Plan (ADP) 2019. These are; food security and Value Addition, provision of sufficient reliable water, Effective and Accessible road network across the county, provision of universal health care for all and social and economic empowerment of youth, women and people living with disabilities.
The County Government’s total Budget for the financial year 2020/2021 is KShs. 8,885,055,035. The recurrent Budget stands at KShs. 5,730,893,283 and the Development Budget is KShs. 3,154,161,752. This translates to 35% ratio of Development expenditure to the Total County Expenditure.
The County Treasury shall seek to perform its mandate as outlined in Sec 104 of the Public Finance Management (PFM) act 2012; enforce Fiscal Responsibility principles as outlined in section 107 of the PFM Act 2012. In particular, all necessary effort shall be made to collect and maximize local revenue to meet the target as set out in the Budget estimates. | en |
