THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT OF KITUI Annual Development Plan FY 2015/16 County Mission and Vision County Vision To be a prosperous county with vibrant rural and urban economies whose people enjoy a high quality of life. County Mission To provide effective county services and an enabling environment for inclusive and sustainable socio-economic development and improved livelihoods for all viii Forward The Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), 2012 Section 126 sub-section I requires county governments to prepare an Annual Development Plan (ADP) in accordance with Article 220 (2) of the constitution. The Annual Development Plan (ADP) provides the description of the County in terms of the location, size, physiographic and natural conditions, demographic profiles as well as the administrative units. The ADP lays the foundation and sets the tone for priority projects and programmes to address the development challenges that face the county after making a review of the status of the previous year’s projects. The County Government is responsible for delivery of services such as health care, water supply, transport and agriculture support among many others. Further to the devolved services the County Government responsibilities are stipulated in the County Governments Act, 2012 Section 5 and the functions are detailed in Part II of the fourth schedule in the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. The Annual Development Plan (ADP) is an annual document that guides in the implementation of projects and programmes from each county ministry as they are stipulated in the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP). This document is largely aligned to the County Integrated Development Plan and the national development framework as envisioned in Vision 2030 and Millennium Development Goals. The development of the ADP included a comprehensive consultation with all the ministries where their inputs were gathered and incorporated in the document. The county has already started implementing some of the projects that came from the various consultations such as the Community Level Infrastructure Development Programme. The County Government of Kitui will roll out developmental projects that will create an environment for its residents to enjoy a high quality of life, its visitors a lasting positive experience and investors an environment that will provide a conducive atmosphere to do business. Simon Mundu, County Executive Committee Member, Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, Kitui County. ix Acknowledgement The preparation of the Annual Development Plan was a vigorous process which involved all the county spending entities. The county Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning played a coordinating role in the preparation process. I would like to specifically thank the County Chief officers who provided able leadership in their respective county Ministries in consolidating their projects and programmes. I would also like to thank all county government officials who were involved in one way or another in preparation of the ADP; the county team of economists led by assistant directors Joel Muyanga, Reynold Njue and Joseph.Kairu who put tireless quality time in production of this document. The Annual Development Plan 2015- 2016 will translate the broad sector priorities in the County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2015 – 2016 into identifiable projects and programme. The projects identified in the ADP are expected to transform Kitui County to be the county of choice.

Mainly, these risks relate to the uncertainties surrounding the financing of the county operations and funding of the proposed development projects. Such risks include:  Inability to meet revenue targets as set out in our revenue projections resulting in budget deficit  Unexpected shocks in the economy that may constrain the national Treasury’s ability to release fund to the counties as scheduled. Such shocks have in the past led to funds being directed to unplanned activities both at the county and the national level.  Delay in obtaining the necessary approvals has had negative effects in the past. Bills, policies and implementation guidelines that take longer to pass result in lost revenues and postponed implementation of programs and projects.  Poor absorption of development funds necessitating supplementary budgets and consequently shifting of priorities. 107 CHAPTER FOUR: RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSION 108 4.0 Introduction This chapter presents the general recommendations cited after implementing projects and programmes in 2014/2015 financial year. These recommendations will be used as lessons to the implementation of planned projects and programmes for 2015/2016 financial year. The chapter also highlights a few concluding remarks to the plan. It lastly annexes a few appendices of importance which may not necessarily be captured as part of the main document; these would include the essential statistics, ward population and Kitui county map showing the 40 electoral wards. 4.1 Recommendations The county ministries should embrace MTEF framework in their budgeting as this will ensure departments have a clear planning framework in the medium term. It is also necessary to ensure that the project and program in the ADP, CFSP and Annual estimates are linked to projects and programs in the CIDP. The county ministries should come up with enhanced revenue collection strategies to ensure there is no budget deficit. To prevent delays in project Implementation County ministries must develop a comprehensive annual work plan that will include an elaborate procurement plan and cash flow projection and strictly adhere to it as it will ensures timely project implementation.. The county Government should establish and functionalize a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation framework that will ensure the implementation of all the project and programs in the county are fast tracked. . 4.2 Conclusion To ensure that this annual development plan is successfully implemented, necessary support is required from the County assembly, County executive and all other stakeholders. It is expected that the County assembly role of oversight, legislation and representation will be geared toward the success of this plan. The Executive must ensure that the necessary policies and guidelines are formulated, coordinated, planned and implemented in a timely manner while at the same time ensuring controls are in place. 109 4.3 Appendices Appendix 1: Essential County Statistics Description Statistics County area (km2) 30,496.4 Total Population (2013) 1,065,330 Male 509,780 Female 555,550 Youth Population (18 – 35)yrs.(2013) 256,436 Male 113,363 Female 143,073 Eligible voting population (2013) 484,392 Total registered Voters (2013) 323,424 Male 156,011 Female 167,413 Crude Birth Rate (CBR) 42.8 Crude Death Rate (CDR) 10.2 Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) 47.0 Child Mortality Rate (CMR) 57.0 Life Expectancy Male 65 Female 68 Absolute poverty level (%) 63.5 Average farm size (ha) 2.6 Farms with title deeds (%) 90 No. of gazetted forests 14 No. of non-gazetted forests 15 No. of Water Resources Users Associations 23 No. of Cooperative Societies 91 No. of level 5 hospitals 0 No. of level 4 hospitals 3 No. of level 3 hospitals 8 No. of level 2 hospitals 24 No. of level 1 hospitals 184 No. of Mission hospitals 2 No. of nursing homes 10 No. of dispensaries (Mission) 22 No. of private clinics 44 Average distance to the nearest health facility 10.2 HIV/Aids Prevalence Rate (%) 6.1 Contraceptive Acceptance (%) 56.6 Pre-school centres 1,336 No. of ECD teachers 1,695 Total ECD enrolment 58,272 No. of primary Schools 1,264 110 No. of primary School teachers 8,256 Total primary school enrolment 315,693 No. of secondary schools 314 No. of National schools 2 No. of secondary school teachers 2,222 Total secondary school enrolment 62,563 No. of Public Universities/colleges 4 No. of private universities 2 Other colleges 3 No. of Youth Polytechnics 79 Literacy Rate (%) 77.3 Households with access to piped water 34,933 Households with access to portable water 129,537 No. of permanent rivers 2 No. of shallow wells 683 No. of water pans 153 Source: Kitui CIDP, 2013 -2017 Appendix 2: Ward Population as at 2012 (2009 Projected) S/no.
