Abstract

The budget estimates for financial year 2019/2020 were prepared within the provision of Public Finance Management Act(PFM) 2012, County Government Act, and the County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2021. These budget estimates are as a result of a very consultative process that included; taking stock of ongoing projects, analyzing county planning documents and structured and unstructured public participation. Key considerations made in allocating funds includes interventions for food security and Value Addition, provision of sufficient reliable water, Effective and Accessible road network across the county, provision of health care services, social economic empowerment of youth, women and people living with disabilities. Within the framework of constrained resources due to the direct impact of COVID -19, the County continues to make interventions that cushion the resident from the advance effect and as well come up with recovery strategies. Support to informal traders, training for the youth and women and improvement of market channels for agricultural produce are key strategies.
