Absence of commitment from leaders and citizens and without appropriate capacities and methodologies, public participation provisions may lead to simple “tick the box”

The PFM Act regulations 2015 require counties to adhere to development expenditure ceilings by at least spending 30% of the actual total expenditure budget on development. As shown in the graph, only 13 counties have kept to the law in the Development Ceiling in FY 2019/20

The law requires the CBROP be tabled in the county assembly by 21st October and should be made public by 28 October. Do mama mboga understand the importance of this document in budget cycle?

Plans/Budgets are to be adhered to, to ensure that #fiduciaryrisk isn't realized.
However, emerging social-economic issues can cause change of plans/budgets, but doesn't mean that #fiscalprudence is abolished altogether.

Experienced #fiduciaryrisks in your County?

@WorldBankKenya @WorldBank @DavidMalpassWBG What mechanism do world bank have in place to ensure that CSOs are part and parcel in monitoring implementation of their support projects at the county level. A case in point is the Kenyan Urban Support Programme where misappropriation has been reported in some counties

[NANDI COUNTY BUDGET CHAMPIONS(NCBC) @BudgetNandi]

While deviations in budgets are sometimes justifiable, counties must allow transparency, public engagement and formal oversight when changes occur

Access to timely and comprehensive information allows the public to shape county budget priorities and track whether the budget is delivering on what was agreed during consultations between the public, executive, and assembly
