Abstract/ Overview
The 2020 Budget Review and Outlook Paper has been prepared in accordance with the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012 and its Regulations. The document provides the fiscal outturn for the FY 2019/20, the macro-economic projections and sets the department ceilings for the FY 2021/22 and the Medium Term Budget. The document also provides an overview of how the actual performance of the FY 2019/20 affected our compliance with the fiscal responsibility principles and the financial objectives spelt out in the PFM Act as well as information showing adjustments made in the projections outlined in the 2020 County Fiscal Strategy Paper. We are operating under tight resource constraints amidst significant revenue shortfalls occasioned by declining economic activity as a result of the adverse effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic. This calls for proper prioritization to ensure that our expenditures go to the most impactful programmes with highest welfare benefits to people of Kiambu. Thus, all departments are expected to ensure that their budgets are aligned to the overall County Government priorities while taking into account the available resources.
