Tharaka Nithi County Budget Review and Outlook Paper 2020

Abstract

The County Budget Review and Outlook Paper (CBROP) 2021 has been prepared in line with section 118 of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act 2012 which requires the county government to prepare a budget review and outlook paper for each financial year; and submit it to the County Executive Committee by 30th September. The CBROP 2021 reviews fiscal performance of the county for the FY 2020/21 against the budget appropriation. In addition, it provides information on changes in forecasts as indicated in the County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) 2021 and how actual financial performance for the previous financial year may have affected compliance with the fiscal responsibility principles and the county financial objectives for that year. It further gives reasons for any deviation from the county financial objectives in the latest fiscal strategy paper together with proposals to address the deviations.
