Murang'a County Programme Based Budget 2022/2023

Abstract

The budget estimates for financial year 2022/2023 were prepared in line with the Public Finance Act,2012 and County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2022. The estimates were also guided by the strategic interventions identified in the County Integrated Development Plan 2018-2022 and the Big Four National Agenda. These estimates are transitional in nature marking completion of 2018-2022 planning phase and laying a strong ground for 2023-2027 planning cycle. Its worthy noting that complete implementation of 2021 Annual Development Plan were hampered by disruption brought by Covid-19, which caused some key areas deteriorate with erosion of gains previously achieved. We have continued developing post Covid-19 recovery strategies as evidenced in this budget estimates. We are also alive to the economic threats posed by the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and August 2022 elections, but remain optimistic that the negative effects of the above will not seriously derail budget implementation.
