Elgeyo Marakwet County Fiscal Strategy Paper FY 2017-18

FOREWORD
This 2017 County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP), the Fourth to be prepared since the inception of County Government of Elgeyo Marakwet, sets out the county's priority programs to be implemented under the 2017/18–2019/20 Financial Years’ Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and aligns the aspirations of the county with those of the national government as stated in the 2017 Budget Policy Statement (BPS) and provisions of Elgeyo Marakwet County Equitable Development Act (EDA), 2015.
Development expenditures within the MTEF period will be shared out based on the parameters of EDA, 2015 to ensure social equity. However, EDA’s parameters attach minimal weight to flagship and county wide projects which are capital intensive programmes and projects thus dragging their implementations to cover several budget cycles and therefore the forthcoming discussions on the amendment to EDA is welcomed to address the emerging issues from its implementation.
