Lamu County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2016

Abstract

This is the third County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) to be prepared for tabling in the County Assembly under the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) 2012. It outlines the broad strategic issues and fiscal framework together with summary of government revenues and spending, as a basis for 2016/17 budget and in the medium term. It is expected that this document will create and improve the understanding of the public finances. It is also expected it will inform and guide the public debate on the county development matters. The preparation of the 2016 CFSP has been collaborative. The information and data used to produce the report was obtained from the ministries and other government entities. We are very grateful for the support received by the Treasury in producing this Paper. We are particularly grateful for the views received from stakeholders during the public participation forum held on all wards in the county during the month of January 2016. We would like to register sincere gratitude to the Governor and the Deputy Governor for the direction and guidance they gave us in the process of putting together this strategy.
