The Public Finance Management Amendment Act, 2012 provides for effective and efficient management of public resources in line with constitutional provisions under Article 220. Section 125(1)(a)(b) of the Act requires the budget process for the county government in any financial year to consist of an integrated development process which includes long term and short term planning as well as financial and economic priorities for the county over the medium term. Section 126 of the Act further provides County Integrated Development Plan as the tool to link budgeting with the implementation of priority programmes. Section 126 (3) specifies that an Annual Development Plan shall guide the budgeting process every fiscal year. In addition, the County Government Act provides that public spending shall be within a planning framework. Sections 104(1), 107(2) and 113(1) spell out that budgeting process will be based on the annual priorities contained in the County Integrated Development Plan.
