A debt of sincere gratitude is extended to individuals and entities for their zeal and zest in the work that culminated in the realization of this 2015/2016 Program Based Budget (PBB). The county would like to thank these individuals for the various roles they played during the preparation of this document.
Since the preparation of Program Based Budget has continued to be a collaborative effort, most of the information in this document was obtained from our collaborative Departments and other county entities without forgetting public participation, which was done with the help of county staff namely; Judith Adero, Eric Baliat, Paul Tenoi and Philemon Cherop.
Special appreciation goes to the dedicated technical team from the Department of Finance and Economic Planning comprising mainly of the staff at the Economic Planning and Budget Units. These officers, led by Mr. John Maritim the Head of Economic Planning Unit and Mr. Johnkeen Jairo the Head of Budget, are Accountants; David Michoti, Samwel Kibirong and Economists; Titus Kosgey, Felix Kipngetich and Elisha Tanui. Other officers who participated in the exercise include Jemimah Toroitich, Sheila Masitsa, Ernest Kiptoo, Duncan Kiplagat and Timothy Cheboi. The significant time and effort they spent collecting, collating, designing and compiling this document is highly treasured.
We also acknowledge the Finance and Economic Planning Department’s County Executive Committee (CEC) Member Mr. Shadrack Chelimo and Chief Officer Mr. Jeremiah Changwony for their support and guidance to this core team. Furthermore, we extend the county’s gratitude to them and all others who participated in the PBB 2015/16 preparation process.
