Kitui County Budget Review and Outlook Paper 2018

Abstract

This is the fifth County Budget Review and Outlook Paper (CBROP) since the inception of devolution and it presents the fiscal performance for FY 2017/18 and how this affects the financial objectives set out in the FY 2018/19 budget. The updated macroeconomic outlook therein also provides a basis to revise the 2018/19 FY budget in the context of the supplementary estimates as well as setting out the broad fiscal parameters for the next budget and in the medium term expenditure framework. The core purpose of the 2018 CBROP is to provide a review of the previous fiscal performance and how this impacts the financial objectives and fiscal responsibility principles set out in the last County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) which provides the basis for the revision of the current budget in the context of supplementary estimates and informs the choice of broad fiscal parameters underpinning the next budget and medium term expenditure framework..
