Wajir County Annual Development Plan 2015/2016

Abstract

The Constitution of Kenya article 220(2 says that the national legislation will give the structure of county development plans and budgets when they shall be tabled to the county assemblies. The Public Finance Management Act, 2012 Section 126 states that each county shall prepare a development plan which will include strategic priorities for the medium term that reflect the county government‘s priorities and plans; description on how the county government is responding to changes in the financial and economic environment; programmes to be implemented and their details and description of significant capital developments. It is important to note that as a county government we have developed a county integrated development plan which is our blue print and hence no public funds shall be appropriated outside a planning framework developed by the county executive committee and approved by the county assembly. The County Integrated Development plan (CIDP) provides the foundation for the preparation of the County Annual Development Plan (CADP) which provides comprehensive baseline information on infrastructural and socio-economic characteristics of the county and will be the basis of spending and budgeting in the county for financial year 2015/16. The County departments will be expected to be guided by this plan as they undertake to work within their Sector Working Groups for the purpose of budget process which will start in October 2014. The County Executive Committee is expected to supervise the administration and delivery of services to citizens as well as conceptualize and implement policies and county legislation.
