The government has set up administration structures from village level to the county level and formulated various legislations to enhance service delivery. Such include; Makueni County Appropriations Act 2013, 2014, 2015, Makueni County Supplementary Appropriation Act, 2014, 2015, 2016 and Makueni County Sand Conservation & Utilization Act 2015.

The revenue automation process is ongoing. The public participation framework has also been established and rolled out which allows for participation from the Villages levels, Village Cluster, Sub Ward, Ward, Sub County and County level. This framework has been recognised by World Bank and has been recommended for adoption by other counties. The county runs an internship, mentoring and volunteerism program which has benefited over 70 interns. 3.0 RECENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS AND MEDIUM TERM OUTLOOK 3.1 National Economic Outlook Kenya has shown resilient growth in 2016 and its economy remains one of the fastest-growing in the region. The economy grew by 5.6 per cent in 2015 compared to 5.3 per cent growth in 2014. The economy further improved and grew at 6.2 per cent in quarter two of 2016 up from 5.9 per cent growth registered in quarter one of 2016. This strong growth was supported by improved performance in agriculture, forestry and fishing (5.5 per cent), mining and quarrying (11.5 per cent), transport and storage (8.8 per cent), electricity and water supply (10.8 per cent), wholesale and retail trade (6.1 per cent), accommodation and restaurant (15.3 per cent) and information and communication (8.6 per cent). Growth in other sectors, particularly manufacturing, construction, financial and insurance and real estate, though slightly lower compared to quarter two of 2015, remained robust. Going forward, the economy is projected to expand further by 6.0 per cent in 2016 and above 6.5 per cent in the medium term supported by strong output in agriculture with a stable weather outlook, continued recovery of tourism and completion of key public projects in roads, rail and energy generation. In addition, strong consumer demand and private sector investment as well as stable macroeconomic environment will help reinforce this growth. Key macroeconomic indicators remained relatively stable during the year. The overall inflation as measured by Consumer Price Index (CPI) eased from 6.9 per cent in 2014 to 6.6 per cent in 2015 due to lower energy and transport prices. The overall rate of inflation as at November 2016 was 6.68 per cent which was within the target range of 2.5 per cent on either side of the 5.0 per cent target. The increasing of 12 | P a g e M a k u e n i C o u n t y 2 0 1 7 F i s c a l S t r a t e g y P a p e r inflation rate from 6.6 per cent in 2015 to 6.68 per cent in November 2016 was largely due to increased cost of petroleum products, electricity and eased monetary policies. Between October and November 2016, Food Inflation and Non-Alcoholic Drinks’ Index increased by 1.17 per cent. This was attributed to increase in prices of several food items which outweighed the decreases of others. The year on year food inflation stood at 11.13 per cent in November 2016. This has great negative impact on the persistently food insecure counties including Makueni. 3.1.1 Employment and Earnings In 2015, total employment outside small-scale agriculture and pastoralist activities increased by 5.9 per cent to 15,160.8 thousand persons. The economy generated a total of 841.6 thousand jobs of which 128 thousand jobs were in the modern sector while 713.6 thousand were in the informal sector, during the period under review. Wage employment within the public sector increased from 700.8 thousand persons in 2014 to 718.4 thousand persons in 2015. Overall, total earnings increased from Kshs 1,311.1 billion in 2014 to Kshs 1,497.3 billion in 2015, representing a rise of 14.2 per cent. 3.1.2 Money, Banking and Finance Domestic credit slowed to an annual growth of Ksh 66.4 billion (2.4 percent) in the year to September 2016 compared with a growth of Ksh 526.0 billion (23.3 percent) in September 2015. The slowdown was mainly attributed to a decline in lending to the Government of Ksh 36.0 billion, the private sector of Ksh 103.6 billion and the other public sectors by Ksh 1.2 billion. Bank credit to the private sector slowed to a growth of 4.8 percent in the year to September 2016 from a 20.6 percent growth in the same period in 2015. Except for finance & insurance, real estate and transport & communication, all the other sectors experienced a slowdown in credit uptake compared to the same period in 2015. This could be attributed to government’s decision to limit commercial banks’ interest rates, and the relatively weaker currency held back activity growth in the private sector. 3.1.3 Public Finance The fiscal plan in 2016/17 entailed a deliberate effort to continue exercising prudence in public expenditure management with the principal goal of containing fiscal risks, gradually lower the fiscal deficit, and contain growth of recurrent expenditures in favour of productive capital spending. To achieve this, the Government endeavoured to accelerate spending in infrastructure, agriculture, 13 | P a g e M a k u e n i C o u n t y 2 0 1 7 F i s c a l S t r a t e g y P a p e r security, health, education, social protection and youth empowerment. The overall objective of this will be to realize sustainable, shared and equitable growth that would in return lead to job creation. Against this backdrop, the National Government budget estimates for 2016/17 amounts to KSh 2,262.2 billion, an increase from Ksh 2,224.0 billion spent in 2015/16. The National Government’s development as a per cent of total budget was 39.4 per cent in FY 2015/16. It is budgeted at 37.4 per cent in FY 2016/17 and projected at 36.8 per cent in the FY 2017/18 and 37.3 per cent in FY 2018/19. These resources for development are above the 30 per cent minimum threshold set out in the PFM law. In FY 2016/17, Ksh279.785 billion was transferred to county Governments as compared to KSh 259.8 Billion in 2015/16. 3.1.4 Agriculture Performance of the agricultural sector in 2016 improved against a backdrop of good weather and abundant rainfall; hence Gross Value Added improved from 3.5 per cent in 2014 to 6.2 per cent in 2015. This was largely achieved through improved crop and livestock production over the review period. The Self Sufficiency Ratio (SSR) improved from 74.4 per cent in 2014 to 75.2 per cent in 2015. The Import Dependency Ratio also improved slightly from 29.2 per cent in 2014 to 28.3 per cent in 2015. 3.2 County Economic Outlook The county economy is anchored on the national economic environment since it depends heavily on national government transfers to grow the economy. 3.2.1 Youth Empowerment Sector Youth empowerment is a process where children and young people are encouraged to take charge of their lives. This involves all efforts taken to ensure that the youth grow to be responsible employable adults who can contribute economically to their communities. To support the sector, the county has invested in restructuring the CTTIs to be more demand driven. These have seen the enrolment increase by 6.4% from 2015 and are projected to increase considering the realignments in the institutions. In 2015 the government awarded contracts worth kshs 90 Million to companies owned by youths. The number is expected to increase in the year 2017/18 to enhance economic empowerment of the youth. 3.2.2 National Government Constituency Development Fund Investments The constituencies (6 constituencies in the county) allocations have been on an 14 | P a g e M a k u e n i C o u n t y 2 0 1 7 F i s c a l S t r a t e g y P a p e r upward trend from total allocations of 508.593 M in FY 2013/14 to Kshs 779.431M in FY 2015/16. However there has been reduction in CDF investments in the various sectors that are fully devolved such as health, roads and agriculture. This indicates a reduction of funding to the much needy sectors of the county’s economy and concerted efforts should be made by the county to cover up for the sectors currently receiving low or no funding.

Milk production in litres grew from 17,363,970 litres in 2014 to 17,718,337 litres in 2015. Area under irrigation grew from 2,822.5 acres in 2014 to 3,175 acres in 2015 a rise of 12.5 per cent. Similarly growth of between 2 to 6 per cent was registered in egg production from 11,953,884 to 12, 197,840. There was a 4.8 per cent and 6 per cent drop in hides and sorghum production over the year 2014 & 2015 respectively. The general improved performance in agriculture can be attributed to the government’s concerted efforts programmes aimed at improving agricultural productivity. 3.2.4 Lands and Urban Development The issuance of title deeds recorded a remarkable increase 25,628 freehold titles between the year 2014 & 2015. This performance is attributed to the streamlining and devolution of this vital service to the county. There was also a 100% improvement in the towns planned. The trend is expected to continue in the forthcoming period and contribute positively towards socio economic transformation & development of the county. 3.2.5 ICT Development The construction of Konza city is expected to create over 17,000 job opportunities by 2030 and support growth around the region. The National Government is currently engaging with private partners to develop the city. The county has continued to collaborate with telecommunications service providers to ensure a wider coverage. Mobile phone coverage rate stood at 85% 15 | P a g e M a k u e n i C o u n t y 2 0 1 7 F i s c a l S t r a t e g y P a p e r in 2015 indicating a larger population having access to mobile services. This opens up opportunities for growth in both financial and telecommunications sector. 3.2.6 Health Sector The average distance to health facilities reduced from 6 km to 5 Km and Bed Ratio (in patients) from 1:31 in 2014 to 1:29 in 2015. The number of registered medical personnel increased from 50 in 2014 to 250 in 2015 (400 per cent), the number of medical personnel per 100,000 of population grew by 17.7 per cent from 102 in 2014 to 120 in 2015. The number of dispensaries grew by 23 per cent in 2015 from 105 to 129, the number of health centers increased from 19 in 2014 to 21 in 2015(11 per cent increase). The doctor’s patient ratio declined to 1:22,217 in 2015.The nurse patient population ratio declined from 1:2,197 in 2014 to 1:1,781 in 2015. This indicates a positive response by the sector to the counties programmes aimed at providing quality health care to its residents. 3.2.7 Water Sector The sector increased access to clean and safe water to 36.5 per cent in 2015, improved water storage per capita in (m³) from 14, 489.90 to 18,836.90 in 2015, the number of functional boreholes grew by 18 per cent and increased the Existing earth dams / pans by 35 per cent in 2015. The existing water programmes are intended to provide potable water for households and water for irrigated farming and livestock leading to improved food security. 3.2.8 Education Sector Infrastructural development, capitation and increase in the number of ECDE instructors in 2015, resulted to a 4 per cent increase in ECDE gross enrolment rate in 2016. The CTTI restructuring led to a 6% increase in the enrolment levels. The trend is expected to increase due to the continued investments in upgrading and restructuring of the CTTIs. 3.2.9 Tourism sector In 2015, domestic and foreign tourist’s visits to Tsavo and Chyullu National parks increased from 51,378 tourists to 52,728 registering a 2.6 per cent increase.

Similarly the turnover of cooperatives increased from Ksh. 177,916,457.00 to 201,500,210.00 over the same period. 3.3 Risks to the FY 2017/18 Outlook There are downside risks to the FY 2017/18 outlook, key among them include: i. The impact of insecurity and depressed rainfall could affect agricultural production. ii. Increasing wage bill iii. Weak/low capacity in mobilizing own revenue iv. Increased cost of free healthcare v. The forthcoming political campaign period 17 | P a g e M a k u e n i C o u n t y 2 0 1 7 F i s c a l S t r a t e g y P a p e r 4.0 COUNTY FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT The implementation of FY2015/16 budget was faced by various challenges which included; shortfall in own generated revenue, inadequate capacity to use e- procurement, delays in approval of county bills necessary to operationalize some budget items, inadequate technical skills in some of the departments, 2013/14 and 2014/2015 backlog which increased the number of projects to execute (as a result of delays in the approval of the budgets), high community expectations amongst others. In order to address the challenges, the County Government instituted a number of measures which included; timely execution of budgets, recruitment of competent staff, staff capacity building, county rapid results initiatives, acquisition of equipment for roads construction, drilling of boreholes and agricultural mechanization., revenue collection automation and, internal restructuring of service delivery. In the FY 2015/16 the County received Kshs. 5,969,671,381.00 as equitable share from the national government which was above the 2015 Budget Policy Statement (BPS) County allocation by Kshs.760,798,579. The National Shareable Revenue transfers rose from Kshs.5, 208,872,802.00 in the FY 2014/2015 to Kshs.5, 969,671,381 in the FY 2015/2016, a 14.6 percent increase.

However, the collected revenue declined by 0.65 percent as a proportion of the total budget. The experienced shortfall in revenue collection was, in part, attributed to delays in passing the 2015 Finance Bill and inadequate legal and institutional framework, delayed revenue automation and inadequate collection mechanisms. The county collected Kshs.124, 747,925 in respect of Appropriation In Aid (A-i-A) against a target of Kshs.89,081,516, a 40 percent increase above the target. During the same year under review, the County had a balance brought forward from the previous year (2014/2015) amounting to Kshs.2,423,023,431.94. 4.1 Expenditure Performance The total budget for FY 2015/16 amounted to Kshs.9, 449,929,070.00 being the highest compared to the previous years.
