Expenditure on operations and maintenance accounts for 11.6 percent of the resource envelope

Overall, recurrent expenditure on compensation of employees, and operations and maintenance account for 64.9 percent of the projected resource envelope. The balance of 25.1 percent from total resource envelope are the resources available to fund planned development programmes.

•Development expenditure allocations are shared out amongst departments on the basis of the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) and Annual Development Plan (ADP) as well as other strategic objectives and policy goals identified in this CFSP which forms the allocation guidelines outlined below;

•Conditional allocations from the national governments: departments/sectors with conditional allocations are considered for more allocations in development for those areas that would maximize the usage of the conditional allocations. However, if the conditional allocations are recurrent in nature, necessary reductions in allocations have been considered

•On-going projects: emphasis is given to completion of on-going projects and in particular infrastructure projects and other projects with high impact on poverty reduction and equity.

•Strategic objectives and policy goals: priority is also given to policy interventions covering the entire county and those that have huge implications in spurring growth in other departments/sectors
