FOREWORD
The Makueni 2014 County Fiscal Strategy Paper is the first to be prepared. The CFSP sets out the
priorities of the County in the medium term as outlined in the County Integrated Development
Plan (2013-2017) and aligned with the Second Medium Term Plan of the Vision 2030.
The CFSP outlines the key government interventions in the next fiscal year. The emphasis will be
on allocating resources to programs. This year‟s budget will be programme based as required by
the Public Finance Management Act, 2012.
The County Government will continue to invest in the infrastructure, health, agriculture and
water sectors to spur county growth. More emphasis will be geared towards increasing equity in
sharing of the resources in line with the County Vision
“ A C o u n t y w h e r e r e s o u r c e s a r e
sustainably harnessed and equitably shared for the benefit of every household”
The County is prone to perennial droughts, which are development challenges that are likely to
hamper growth. To address such challenges, the county government will introduce sorghum
farming targeting 20,000 farmers and 60,000 hectares of plantation.
Governance and accountability in the management of public resources remain key in the
implementation of planned programmes. Efforts to create awareness in the citizenry on the
importance of paying taxes and rates through tax clinics will be undertaken.
Continuous monitoring and evaluation will be undertaken through the socio economic planning
section. A monitoring and evaluation policy will be developed and submitted to the executive for
approval.
Monthly and quarterly Budget expenditure reports will be submitted to the executive by the
budget and expenditure section. This will enhance adherence to the budget estimates and ensure
value for money is realized.
