The County Budget was prepared in a collaborative effort amongst county sub-sectors. This has been the norm ever since the county was established following the implementation of Constitution of Kenya, 2010. The information in this document was obtained from departments and other county entities and from public participation resolutions for Annual Development Plan (ADP), County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP), the Budget Estimates and CIDP 2018-2022.
We owe a huge debt of gratitude to individuals and entities for their endless effort and unwavering loyalty towards county citizens. Their work culminated in the realization of this 2018/2019 Budget Estimates. The county would like to thank these individuals for the various roles they played during the preparation of this document. Thanks to the CECs, Chief Officers, Directors and all staff whose efforts contributed to the success of this budget.
This is to especially appreciate the dedicated technical team from the Department of Finance and Economic Planning comprising mainly of the staff at the Economic Planning Directorate. These officers, led by Mr. John Maritim, the Director of Economic Planning and Budgeting, are Economists; Titus Kosgei, Felix Kipngetich and Duncan Kipsang, Gladys Chebet, Elisha Tanui and Jacob Ayienda from Health department. Other officers who participated in the exercise include; Ernest Kiptoo, Timothy Cheboi, Hezron Lwamba and Sammy Kibirong. The significant time and effort they spent collecting, collating, designing and compiling this document is commendable. We appreciate their never-ending commitments.
We also acknowledge the leadership of Finance and Economic Planning Department’s County Executive Committee (CEC) Member Mr. Isaac Kamar. His support and guidance to this core team contributed to the success of this document. Furthermore, we extend the county’s gratitude to county citizens and everybody else, whom we may not be able to mention. Their participation in the Budget Estimates preparation process is highly commendable.
