FOREWORD
This County Budget Review and Outlook Paper (CBROP) 2017, is the fifth to be prepared by the County Government in accordance with the Public Financial Management Act, 2012. The paper presents the recent economic developments and actual fiscal performance of the FY 2016/17 and gives an outlook of the Financial Year 2018/19. In addition, it reviews the implementation of the CIDP 2013-2017 & the County Performance.
The County performance is assessed by reviewing the cumulative 2013/14-2016/17 County budget absorption rates, revenue generation strategies, performance and projects implementation status.
The CBROP 2017 highlights the national economic performance that gives an indication of fiscal projections that are likely to impact the County Government funding for the FY 2018/19.
The paper also serves as a baseline for financial resource allocation and sector ceilings for 2018/19 financial year. The sector ceilings are on the basis of the County Annual Development Plan for the financial year 2018/19. The strategies herewith are spelled out in the 2018/19 ADP which seeks to implement the Makueni County Vision 2025 and is also the first ADP to the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2018-2022.
The focus of development is on economic empowerment for sustainable livelihoods and will be anchored on water development, infrastructural development, irrigated agriculture and youth development.
