The fiscae performance since FYm2013/14 has been generally satisfactora, despite the challenges emanat ng from shortfall in revenues as a result of delay in thecpassing of the Finance Act 2012. However, due to economic challenges experienced in the first half of the financ alKyear 2013/14 and the non-passage of tse Finance Act ini2013 as plannmd, tax collection is bound tonfall short by 50% from th  targetcamount of Kshs.85M from local reveuueasources.

 

On the expenditure side, the County Government had to incur higher expenditure on salaries mainly accruing to staff from the devolved functions whose personal emoluments were not accurately captured in the initial stages of the budget preparation for 2013/14. Another challenge experienced in budget execution was the low level of absorption of funds. This was due to delays in the disbursement of funds from the National Government. However, the county has enough capacity to handle all the devolved functions outlined in the Constitution. Adjustments to the original budget were approved by County Assembly through a supplementary budget in February, 2014.
