Busia County Fiscal Strategy Paper and Medium Term FY 2019-2020

Pursuant to section 117(1) and (6) of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), 2012 and PFM Regulations 2015; the County Treasury has prepared this County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2019 and aligned the proposed revenue and expenditure plan to the national objectives as contained in the National Budget Policy Statement (BPS) 2019. The CFSP sets out the county's priority programs to be implemented under the 2019/20–2021/22 FY’s Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF).

This County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2019 comes at early stages of the County Integrated Development Plan (2018-2022), the Third Medium Term Plan (MTP III) of the Kenya Vision 2030 and builds on the gains made in key sectors of the county economy during the County Integrated Development Plan (2013-2017) and the Second Medium Term Plan (MTP II). In this regard, the policy goals, priority programs and fiscal framework are aligned to support achievement of the objectives of the County Integrated Development Plan 2018-2022, MTP III and ultimately the Vision 2030. Certainly, the County government will augment economic transformation by implementing key programs under Governor’s Manifesto, ‘The Big Four’ agenda, CIDP 2018-2022 and Vision 2030.
