The CBROP provides a reflection of fiscal frameworkfor chatting a strong basis for fiscal discipline and public funds accountability. The CBROPreminds us the need for maintaining an ideal balance between government receipts andexpenditures.During preparation of the FY 2020/2021 budget, the County prepared five (5) concept noteswith different themes whose main objective was to conceptualize governmentprogrammes/projects that are reflecting inter-departmental collaboration. The clustering of thethemes has been redefined in the policy direction to provide versatility in fitting departmentsinto the concept notes. The same concepts will be applied in projecting indicative ceilings fordevelopment allocation. The Treasury has analyzed what has been funded in the currentfinancial year in relation to the projections of the medium term framework for the concepts.The analysis will be used by a resource allocation panel in interrogating submissions by sectorworking groups on programmes/projects presented for funding in the FY 2021/2022. Theresource allocation will look at the clarity of the programmes/projects in achieving outcomesset out in the Annual Development Plan 2021/2022, County Integrated Development Plan2018-2022 and contribution to realizing the vision of the Makueni County Vision 2025.The County is committed to enhancing participatory planning and budgeting. This increasescommunities participation in development and programme/project ownership. The Countywill also improve on communicating budget allocation and performance to communities.The theme for development for FY 2021/22 will be Community driven development forenhanced prosperity. The theme pushes for revitalizing economic development at the locallevel by engaging community members while at the same time building the resilience and theadaptive capacity of the community members. The preparation of the Budget for FY 2021/22,will leverage on the multi-sectoral approach in development that was initiated in FY 2019/20in preparing the FY 2020/2021 budget. This is geared towards ensuring development isoutcome and result oriented for increased household income. Allocation of funds to programswill be done on the basis of how they demonstrate alignment to the objectives as identified inthe Concept notes, ADP 2021/22 and CIDP 2018-2022.I call upon all to adhere to the schedule of activities and timelines as outlined in the Budgetcircular to enable finalization and appropriation of the FY 2021/22 budget.
