Kiambu County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2017

Abstract

This is the Fourth Kiambu County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) under the devolved governance structure. The purpose of this paper is to build direct linkages between policies, plans and budgets, and present the fiscal framework for the 2017/18 FY budget estimates and over the medium term. The paper, prepared under the theme “Consolidating the gains of Kiambu as the Growth Pole and Investment Hub of Kenya” provides expenditure ceilings for County Departments, units and agencies and detailed guidelines that are aimed at structuring County Government expenditure towards priority areas. These priorities are set on the basis of review of expenditures in FY 2015/16, sector proposals, the 2017/18 Annual Development Plan as well as County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017. The paper is aligned with the national objectives contained in the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) 2017 that sets out the broad strategic priorities and policy goals guiding budget preparation for the next financial year.
