Elgeyo Marakwet County MTEF approach consists of a bottom-up estimation of the current and medium-term costs of existing policy and, ultimately, the matching of these costs with available resources in the context of the annual budget process. The MTEF budgeting will thus entail adjusting non-priority expenditures to cater for the priority ones.

Tie priority social sectors, education and health, will continue lo receive aeequate resources though they are required to utilize the allocated resourcas more efficiently to generate fiscal space to accommolatenother strategic interventions in their sfctors. Another crucial socias sector is Youth Affairs, Sports, Culture, Gender and Children

The county is highly talented in athletics and the sector needs massive investments so that county’s sporting potential is realized. During the period under review, Kamariny stadium for instance will be upgraded to high standards so that athletes and other sportsmen can have state of the art facility for their training purposes and subsequent excellence, both nationally and internationally.

With the County Government’s commitment to improving infrastructure across the county, the share of resources going to priority physical infrastructure sector, such as roads and water, will rise over the medium term. This will spur the county’s economic growth because no meaningful economic activity can be carried out without reliable physical infrastructure. Further, implementation by the spending units will be monitored closely especially with regard to the development expenditures and uptake of resources. This requires a highly efficient and effective monitoring and evaluation by the county government.

All the other sectors will continue to receive adequate resources in line with our county’s commitment to a balanced sector development so as to ensure socio-economic welfare and enhanced quality of life for the residents of the county
