Baringo County 2nd Quarter Budget Implementation Status Report FY 2016 -2017 (2016)

It is with great pleasure that we present to you the second quarter budget implementation report for the financial year 2016/17. This report provides information and achievements of various departments and entities of the County Government for the second quarter of 2016/17 financial year. It highlights the performance of both recurrent and development expenditures by the county departments and other entities.
This report is prepared in accordance with the requirements of Section 166 Sub- Section 4(a, b) of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 which states that: the county treasury shall consolidate all the quarterly reports from County Government entities and submit them to the County Assembly and deliver copies to office of the Controller of Budget, National Treasury and the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA).

The report appreciates both the financial and non-Financial performance of each department and sections as well as governance aspects of the county government. In order to have successful implementation of budget by the County Government, there is need to put in place strong social and accountability systems.

I have no doubt the report will be useful in gauging the budget implementation of the departments and improvement of efficiency and effectiveness in public finanacial management. Though this report is intended to create awareness in budget implementation among all the stakeholders.

This report is intended to inform stakeholders, policy makers, analysts and members of the public on the progress made in implementation of FY 2016/17 County Government budgets. I take this opportunity to urge all citizens to take interest in public finanical management matters.

In particular, I urge stakeholders to actively read this report and participate in public forums to enchance transparency and accountability in the management of public financial recources as enshrined in the constitution and PFM Act, 2012.

I therefore present this report for your action/information as required by Law. This will go further towards efficient and effective service delivery towards attainment of the County Government’s objectives.
