Section 12 of the second schedule of the PFM Act 2012 provides a manner in which counties annualbudgets are to be prepared and submitted to the County Assemblies for deliberations and approval. Our2016/17 FY budget derives its overriding goals and justifications from the various planning and budgetdocuments mandated by law to be undertaken as build-ups and reference to the preparation of budgetestimates. These planning and budget policy documents include; Annual Development Plan (ADP),County Budget Review and Outlook Paper (CBROP), County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) and CountyIntegrated Development Plan (CIDP).The objectives of this budget are informed by the 2017/18 Annual Development Plan (ADP) which wassubjected to public participation. Departmental needs analysis was done to determine allocations to thevarious programmes and sub programmes in line with the approved CFSP departmental ceilings. Thoughthe budget estimates have been aligned with the approved 2017/18 CFSP ceilings, there are pertinentemerging issues which have not been addressed by the ceilings and thus require consultation forinclusion in the 2017/18 budget. These issues include the nurses negotiated PE allowances and thepending doctors CBA agreement implementation amongst other issues.The total estimates for 2017/18 FY is Kshs 3,997,043,818 out of which Kshs. 3,619,547,536 is from theCRA equitable share, Kshs. 160,291,113 will be from local revenues and Kshs 217,205,169 will be fromconditional funding from the national government and World Bank. Development estimates in thisbudget amounts to 34 % of the total allocation which is above the 30% threshold thus complying withthe PFM Act 2012. In development allocation per ward, this budget has ensured equitable sharing acrossall Wards on the basis of the County Equitable Development Act, 2015.These budget estimates have been developed to achieve a balanced budget while recognizing the lowlevels of CRA share and local revenues.
