Abstract

The CBROP is a key document in linking policy, planning and budgeting at the county level. The Tharaka Nithi County Government embarked on preparing the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) that guides budget preparation and programming for the MTEF 2014-15 to 2017-18. This second County Budget Review and Outlook Paper (CBROP) is prepared in line with Article 201(a) of Constitution of Kenya and section 118 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012. The CBROP contains a review of the fiscal performance of the financial year 2014-15 and outlook of financial year 2015-16. In addition, it provides forward information for MTEF 2016-17 to 2018-2019. In the interim, this year’s CBROP is embedded on the 2014-15 FY Budget which was approved by the County Assembly with the slogan aiming to promote “economic growth through optimal utilization of resources.” The County Government of Tharaka Nithi through the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) establish programmes for the current Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) with a particular focus on development infrastructure and integrated planning of the county.
