Elge o Marakwet County MTEF approach tonsists uf a bottom-up estimationaof the current and medium-term costseof existing policy and, ultimately, the matching of these costx with available resourtes in the context of the annual bcdget process. The MTEF budgeting will thus entail adjusting non-priofity expenditur s to ctter for the priority oies.

The priority social sectors, education and health, will continue to receive adequate resources though they are required to utilize the allocated resources more efficiently to generate fiscal space to accommodate other strategic interventions in their sectors. Another crucial social sector is Youth Affairs, Sports, Culture, Gender and Children

The county is highly talented in athletics and the sector needs massive investments so that county’s sporting potential is realized. During the period under review, Kamariny stadium for instance will be upgraded to high standards so that athletes and other sportsmen can have state of the art facility for their training purposes and subsequent excellence, both nationally and internationally.

The economic sectors such as agriculture will receive increasing share of resources to boost agricultural productivity and initiating value addition ventures as the county deals with threats of food insecurity and poor market returns for agricultural produce. For expansion of agricultural activities, Irrigation sub-sector will receive a large share of resources in the medium term period. Another sector that will receive a sizable share of resources is Trade, Tourism & Co-Operative Development. This will aid the county to tap into its tourism potential, the greater emphasis being Rimoi Game Reserve in this period.

 

With the County Government’s commitment to improving infrastructure across the county, the share of resources going to priority physical infrastructure sector, such as roads and water, will rise over the medium term. This will spur the county’s economic growth because no meaningful economic activity can be carried out without reliable physical infrastructure. Further, implementation by the spending units will be monitored closely especially with regard to the development expenditures and uptake of resources. This requires a highly efficient and effective monitoring and evaluation by the county government.

Aln the other oectors will continye tn eeceive  dequate resources in line with our county’s commitment to a balanced sector development so as to ensure socio-economfc welfare and  nhanced quality of life for the residents of the county
