Performance Overview and Background for Programme(s) Funding

The Department of Finance and Economic Planning is charged with responsibilities of developing and implementing policies, strategies and development plans for financial accounting, budget formulation and management, planning and management of socio-economic and political development resources. This is done based on the activities and products that are critical for socio-economic development of the County
and Country at large. The County Treasury's achievements during the period for 2017/18 includes; completion of value for money audits in all departments, implementation of policy on access to county government procurement opportunities for women, successful implementation of e-procurement, the youth and persons with disabilities, preparation of financial statement on time, Preparation of Annual Budget, Preparation of Annual development plan and the completion of the County Integrated Development Plan 2018-2022.
The main constraint in budget implementation has been caused by the vastness of the county coupled by the poor road infrastructure, delay in disbursement of funds by National Treasury, In addition, accrued pending bills leads to insufficient funds for priority projects since they form first charge of the budget. Going forward, the County Treasury will continue to put in place appropriate measures to ensure that all
sections in the public finance management Act 2012 are strictly adhered to. In particular the requirement of preparation of programme based budgets and application of e-procurement by the county is to be adhered to by all departments.
In pursuit of the above, the County Treasury will be structured to align it with its core mandate of economic and financial management and equipping it with requisite competencies, training and capacity building to enhance reporting capability, developing and enforcing cost benchmarks for the procurement of goods and services, reporting and timely preparation of financial statements and undertaking both expenditure tracking and regular value for money audits. This will done by adoption of excellent performance management system of performance contracting, staffs’ appraisals and individual annual work plan across all the sections in the department.
