In pursuing a balanced budget requirement, the County Government has projected that overall expenditure will equal the forecasted County receipts for FY 2018/2019. In this regard the county government total expenditure will reach Ksh 4.5 billion in the FY 2018/2019 (excluding balances carried forward) approximately growth of 8 percent.

Compensation to employees will account for 53 percent of the total County budget approximately Ksh 2.4 billion. Although, this proportion of the County wage bill is still way above the envisaged level of 35 percent of total revenues as recommended in section 25 of the PFM (County Government Regulations) 2015. The marginal growth in County allocation for salaries and wages is mainly on account of natural rise in annual increments and harmonization of wages across the public service by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). Further, allocation for other recurrent expenditures shall decrease despite the marginal increase in County revenues.
