The FY 2018/2019 Program Based Budget is one of the series of policies prepared by the countygovernment to implement the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2018-2022. Thedocument has been prepared in compliance with the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and the PublicFinance Management Act 2012. It draws content from the Turkana FY 2018/19 AnnualDevelopment Plan and Turkana County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2018 prepared by the CountyExecutive and tabled in the County Assembly which adopted and approved.Program based budgeting has improved expenditure efficiency and effectiveness by linkingfunding to results and making use of performance information to achieve that linkage. It wasdesigned to shift focus from input based budgeting to a result based in line with national and countygovernment priorities. Translating the budget into programs provides stakeholders with a basisof tracking and interrogating budgetary allocations to various government entities.The FY 2018/2019 budget is enshrined in the countys broad and collective theme ofStrengthening of Institutional Structures for Realization of the Five Point Agenda asespoused in the County Fiscal Strategy Paper, 2018. To achieve this collective agenda, the countywill focus its priorities on Food Security, Infrastructure, and accessibility to Quality Water, Healthand Education.The resource requirement for implementation of the CIDP 2013-17 was higher than the resourcesthe county was able to mobilize. As a result, the county was not able to deliver the expectationsespoused in the plan. Again, the county has not been able to meet local revenue targets over theperiod thus impacting negatively on project implementation. Total county revenue for FY 2018/19is projected at Kshs 13,535,455,446.57 with Own Source Revenue pegged at Kshs 250,000,000.00and the Balance Carried Forward at Kshs. 1,546,094,265.57.In conclusion, significant progress has been made in implementing programs and projects inthe previous plan term ending 2017. As we embark to implementation of the second generationCIDP 2018-2022, I request county entities to align their budget proposals to this plan and inparticular, prioritize flagships contained therein.
