COUNTY GOVERNMENT OF KAJIADO KAJIADO COUNTY CITIZEN BUDGET FY 2018/19-2019/20 Fostering Social-economic And Political Development For Sustainable Growth FOREWORD The PFM, Act Regulation 2015 Section 6 (2) stipulates that county treasuries shall arrange for effective public participation during the development of their annual budget estimates including the publication of citizens’ budget which shall explain and summarize the budget proposals. In accordance to that law, Kajiado County has prepared the first Citizens budget for FY2018/19, a simplified version of the approved budget. The Mwanachi budget guide provides a highlight of the budget process, budget summary, and development objectives and strategies. It also provides key development programmes and projects that the county will undertake in FY2018/19 in regards to the theme “fostering social-economic and political development for sustainable growth.” The programmes/projects are in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Agenda 2063, Kenya Vision 2030, and the Big Four National Agenda. For the county to achieve sustainable development, there is need for active stakeholders’ engagement. Therefore, the Citizen budget advocates for accountability, participatory planning, budgeting, monitoring and evaluation from stakeholders. The Mwananchi Budget is designed to provide public financial information in a simplified language to the general public. I therefore take this opportunity to appreciate the effort that has gone into preparing the 2018/19 Mwananchi guide. Appreciation goes to The Governor H.E. Mr. Joseph ole Lenku, The Deputy Governor, H.E Martin Moshisho and the entire County Executive Committee for the support in the budget process. I also appreciate our honorable members of the Kajiado County Assembly led by the Hon. Speaker Mr. Johnson Osoi in ensuring that the views of the public are represented in this budget. I wish to acknowledge the contribution of the Sector Working Groups spearheaded by Accounting Officers who worked tirelessly to ensure timely compilation of departmental budgets that greatly informed the 2018/19FY Citizen’s Budget. Most remarkable is the effort of My Chief Officer Mr. Morris Kaaka and the Budget and Economic Department in spearheading the process of developing this citizen’s budget. I am grateful for the unrelenting support both financial and technical provided by the team from KEWASNET in the preparation of this Mwanachi budget. I also thank our esteemed citizens for their valued input during the public forums held across the county during the initial stages of preparing the 2018/19FY budget.
