FOREWORD
The Vihiga County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2019 lays down the framework for the preparation of the 2019/2020 County Budget in line with the Public Finance Management Act 2012, section 117. The CSFP reviews the County Departments budget performance in the previous plan period, challenges and lessons learnt and key priority programs the county aspires to implement in the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF). The proposed projects and programmes are drawn for the 2019/20 ADP, the 2018-2022 CIDP, and aligned to the broad national and internal development commitments such as the Big 4 Agenda, the Kenya Vision 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals. The key purpose of the fiscal strategy paper is to enable the citizens of Vihiga appreciate the fiscal situation in the county and the budget strategies the county government seeks to implement in the financial year 2019/2020 and preceding medium term period. The CFSP contains the following:
- A review of budget performance of sectors and brief of the county economic situation
- An analysis of risks and Risk Management Strategies
- An outlook of the County Revenue and Expenditure
- Total revenue, expenditure and deficit for the financial year 2019/20
- The Departmental/sector priorities for the plan period 2019/20
The proposals in the Fiscal Strategic Paper were drawn from various public and stakeholders’ engagements in consistent with the county’s policies on transparency and accountability and the dictates of the PFMA 2012 and the Kenya Constitution. It is my sincere belief that with realistic budget forecasts, adherence to the principles of fiscal responsibility coupled with enhanced public and stakeholder engagements Vihiga County will be in the development path towards attaining its vision of being a model prosperous county in Kenya.
