This is the fourth Muranga County Budget Review and Outlook Paper. It presents uswith an opportunity to asses and review the budget implementation for the year2016/2017, highlight on the current year budget implementation while at the same timesetting the base for the next financial year budget(2018/2019).A lot of effort was expended in the last Government to ensuring that we deliver themandated services to our residents. Key to effective service delivery is the ability todevelop solid plans, mobilize the necessary financial resources and implement thebudgets cost effectively. The last three County budgets have enabled us make notablestrides in the implementation of our integrated development plan but not withoutchallenges. Realization of the budgeted revenues has remained elusive due to delayedfunds releases by the national treasury to the extent that full implementation of thebudget within a financial year has remained difficult. It is our hope that timelydisbursement of the current financial year equitable share will be made to facilitate thecompletion of new budgeted programmes and the critical ongoing ones. We have alsomade concrete strategies to ensure a significant increase in local revenue collection inline with the budget.
