KWALE COUNTY FISCAL STRATEGY PAPER
FEBRUARY 2016
FOREWORD
The theme of the 2016 National Budget Policy Statement (BPS) is sustaining Economic Prosperity for all Kenyans. In the spirit of keeping in line with this theme, this 2016 Kwale County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) will aim at consolidating the gains made so far in implementation of planned programmes and projects and build on the successes to achieve even greater economic prosperity for the Kwale Citizens. Thus, the 2016 CFSP re-emphasizes the County Government's economic transformation agenda and propose strategic priorities aimed at addressing our key development challenges to sustain economic prosperity which we have gained so far. The strategic priorities as outlined in our recent Annual Development Plan of 2016/2017 include(i) improvement in infrastructural facilities in education,roads,water and sanitation systems, markets and others.(ii)investing in quality, accessible and affordable( both preventive and curable) health care services through the rehabilitation and upgrading of our hospitals, health centres and dispensaries, provision of medical supplies, research and employment of more health workers (iii) investing in agricultural transformation and food security through increased extension services, agricultural mechanization,irrigation,livestock breeding and disease control and fisheries upgrading. This will enhance food security, create employment, raise rural incomes and reduce poverty (iv)working towards effective management of land and physical planning of urban areas, our natural resources and investing in land banking.(v)investing in social welfare programmes for the youths, women and the vulnerable groups to ensure inclusivity and equity in development. These strategic priorities will guide the preparation of the county budget for FY 2016/2017 and over the medium term.
The strategic priorities contained in this 2016 CFSP are linked to our policy goals in the first County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 and the priorities of the MTP 11 and strategic objectives of the Kenya Vision 2030. Implementation of the strategic priorities and planned sector programmes outlined in this 2016 CFSP aims at achieving the objectives of the five pillar thematic areas mentioned in the three previous years BPS and reiterated in this financial year 2016 BPS.Implementation of the prioritised programmes is expected to raise productivity and efficiency in the county economy thereby achieving economic prosperity and inclusive growth for all citizens.
Budget execution for the last three years of devolution has had positive tremendous impacton the socio economic development of the people of Kwale. There has been great improvement in productivity and growth in agriculture, trade, industry and infrastructure.Likewise, greater achievement has been made in public awareness and engagement with the countygovernment in development of county plans and policies. This has resulted in enhanced good governance. The County Government will build on the progress made so far and address the challenges that continue to derail the county's transformation agenda.
The Global economic environment has been beset by a myriad of challenges chief among them is the continued declining commodity prices. Global economic growth is projected to be 3.1 percent in 2015,a decline from a growth of 3.4 percent in 2014.This is expected to recover in 2016 to about 3.6 per cent although risks and emergent challenges remain. Such risks and emergent challenges include declining commodity prices, depreciating emerging market currencies and increasing financial markets volatility. On the domestic front, the Kenyan economy remains to be robust despite the shocks from the global economic environment. Kenyan economy grew by 5.3 percent in 2014 and is projected to rise to 5.6 per cent in 2015,6.0 percent in 2016 and 6.5 per cent over the medium term. This will be achieved and sustained by the maintenance of prudent macroeconomic policies and suitable structural reforms. Since the county economy does not operate in isolation it is expected to be affected by such exogenous macroeconomic environment. Challenges to the Global and domestic economies will have influence in our economy. Such challenges include high levels of unemployment, rising insecurity, unstable fixed exchange rates, high interest rates which impedes borrowing by private investors and fluctuating inflation rates. Despite these challenges, the county's economic growth outlook looks promising as there is greater growth potential in agriculture,trade,industry,tourism and land development. With the continued private investment in mining and agri-business industry, the county's economy will recover and growth is expected across all sectors.
In this 2016 CFSP,the County Government of Kwale will build on the gains made thus far and implement strategic interventions that will address our core development challenges in order to provide better service delivery and enhance the county's transformation agenda for economic prosperity of our people.

This paper is prepared in consistent with the requirements of section 117 of the Public Finance Management Act(PFMA),2012.It outlines the broad strategic priorities and policy goals that will guide the preparation of the County Budget for financial year 2016/2017 and over the medium term. It will also provide up to date information on county performance, the sectors spending plans and ceilings and the projections of revenues and expenditure for 2016/17 and over the medium term. These coupled with the county's macroeconomic outlook will form a basis of the FY 2016/2017 county budget and the medium term. This document is expected to improve the citizens understanding of the County Government public finances and guide public debate on development matters among various stakeholders.
Budget implementation over the past three years has had challenges mainly arising from delays in release of exchequer issues from the National Treasury, long public procurement procedures and under collection of local county own revenues below the set targets. Despite these challenges tremendous progress was made in county expenditure performance. Our economy is expected to grow as continued private investment is enhanced and tourism starts recovering. This CFSP will address the outstanding challenges which drag on our economic transformation agenda.
In all the three years the preparation of this paper has been through the collaborative efforts of all county departments and agencies. Information from the County departments and agencies form a great part of this report. We are grateful to the departments and agencies for their invaluable inputs. Our gratitude goes to the Kwale citizens who participated by giving their views both oral and written during the public hearings of 8th to 12th February 2016 in the sub counties. My sincere appreciation also goes to members of the County Budget and Economic Forum for their active participation in the public forums.
Finally special thanks go to the Budget and Economic Planning Team of the County Treasury who spent substantial amount of time on content development,compilation,editing and finalization of this 2016 CFSP.

OVERVIEW
1.The 2016 County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP), the third to be prepared under the County Government, continues the implementation of far reaching economic policies and structural reforms for economic prosperity. These policies are linked to the five pillar strategic objectives of the Nation as given in the last two years of the National Budget Policy Statement. The 2016 BPS which this 2016 CFSP borrows and complements reemphasizes the implementation of five key thematic areas namely:(i) creating a conducive business environment for job creation;(ii)investing in sectoral transformation to ensure broad based and sustainable economic growth with a major focus on agricultural transformation to ensure food security;(iii)investing in infrastructure in areas such as transport, logistics, energy and water;(iv)investing in quality and accessible health care services and quality education as well as strengthening the social safety net to reduce the burden on households and promote shared prosperity; and (v)further consolidating gains made in devolution in order to provide better service delivery and enhanced economic development.
2.The implementation of the five pillar transformative agenda is expected to raise efficiency and productivity in the economy thereby sustaining inclusive growth. This will create opportunities for productive jobs for all Kenyans. This 2016 CFSP will endeavor to complement therefore, the ongoing National Government’s priority programmes and structural reform measures in the ongoing MTP II and strive to achieve the objectives of the SDGs and the Kenya Vision 2030. In the county, our strategic priorities to be implemented during the period FY 2016/17 – 2018/19 will be linked to the achievement of the strategic objectives of Vision 2030 by addressing the key development challenges which derail our economic transformation agenda.
3.The 2016 CFSP is framed against the backdrop of uneven and moderate global economic recovery. Global growth for 2015 is projected at 3.1 percent, a slowdown from a growth of 3.4 percent in 2014 .Due to the recovery in most advanced economies global growth is projected to be 3.6 percent in 2016. However, with declining commodity prices, depreciating emerging market currencies, and increasing financial market volatility, downside risks to the outlook have risen, particularly for emerging markets and developing economies.
4. Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to slowdown in 2015 to 3.8 percent from 5.0 percent in 2014 due to declining commodity prices, particularly oil as well as lower demand from China (the largest single trade partner of Sub-Saharan Africa) and the tightening of global financial conditions for the region’s frontier market economies.
5. Kenya’s macroeconomic performance remains strong in the face of headwinds from the global economic slowdown. The economy grew by 5.3 percent in 2014 and is projected to rise to 5.6 percent in 2015, 6.0 percent in 2016 and 6.5 percent over the medium term. This robust economic growth is supported by continued investment in infrastructure, construction, mining, lower energy prices and improved agriculture following improved rains. Inflation is expected to remain within target over the medium term. Interest rates are expected to remain low and stable and the exchange rate competitive.
6.The County economy is mainly supported by the growth in agriculture,trade,industry,tourism and investment. The County Government implemented programmes to revitalize agricultural productivity through increased agricultural mechanization, irrigation, extension services and disease control. This coupled with favorable long rains has raised agricultural productivity. Trade and other business activities have increased following financial assistance programme and business training. Government efforts to revamp tourism through international marketing and subsidies for domestic tourism and other incentives have resulted in tourism recovery. Our economy has potential for more growth following increased private investment in mining and agribusiness industry.
I. POLICIES TO ACHIEVE AND SUSTAIN ECONOMIC PROSPERITY
Introduction
7.The policies set out in this 2016 CFSP re-emphasizes the ongoing Economic Transformation agenda being implemented by the County Government which borrows heavily from the five pillar strategy of the 2016 BPS.The five pillar strategy include: (i) creating a conducive business environment for job creation; (ii) investing in sectoral transformation to ensure broad-based and sustainable economic growth with a major focus on agricultural transformation to ensure food security; (iii) investing in infrastructure in areas such as transport, logistics, energy and water (iv) investing in quality and accessible health care services and quality education as well as strengthening the social safety net to reduce the burden on households and promote shared prosperity; and (v) further consolidate gains made in devolution in order to provide better service delivery and enhanced economic development.
8. Further the strategic priorities and policies reiterated in this 2016 CFSP recognizes the fact that the county economy does not operate in isolation and it will be affected by external shocks both in the domestic and global economies. In the international front declining commodity prices particularly oil prices will have a bearing on our economy as will be the case for continued deterioration of emerging markets and insecurity. In the domestic economy stable macroeconomic environment will be key in ensuring stable growth of our economy.Vagarities of weather and unfavorable conditions like drought may affect agricultural productivity which is the main stay of the county's economy.
9. Implementation of strategic priorities and policies since the inception of devolution in our county has had tremendous achievements. Our fiscal policy has resulted in fiscal prudence and achievement of value for money in most of our implemented projects. Business environment has greatly improved on improvement of macroeconomic stability, enhanced electric power generation and enhanced security.
10. General infrastructure has improved with the continued rehabilitation and opening up of county feeder roads, street lights installation, development of water pipeline systems and enhanced power generation.
11.On Education, the county has made tremendous improvement. The county is mandated to look after Early Childhood Development and Education and Youth Training. Since its inception ,the County Government of Kwale has increased the ECDE enrolment from 64,282 in 2013 to about 72,837 in 2015.For infrastructural development, the number of ECDE Centres have increased from 210 in 2013 to 303 in 2015. The County Government initiated the Bursary and Scholarship programme cognizant of the need to build on human capital and assist the bright students from needy families. Bursaries and Scholarships to needy students have been on an upward trend from a budget of Ksh 110 Million in 2013 to 280 Million and 400 Million in 2014 and 2015 respectively. The number of beneficiaries have also increased from 15,900.in 2013 to 26,917. in 2014.
12.Under the Health Sector, the County Government aims at ensuring that the county has a healthy population to realize its dream of economic transformation. Since its inception, the devolved government has embarked on ambitious health programmes including health infrastructural development programmes, medical staffing programme, provision of essential medical supplies , establishment of medical emergency services, public health programme and sanitation.
13. The agricultural transformation programme including agricultural mechanization,irrigation,provision of farm inputs, training on smart agriculture and extension services as well as disease control has had huge pay offs in agricultural productivity. Tomake the county more food secure and self reliant, the county government in collaboration with development partnerswill set up more irrigation schemes in the semi arid areas across the county.
14. The continued implementation of county strategic priorities and sector programmes articulated in the previous two years CFSP and those outlined in this 2016 CFSPlinked to the five pillar strategy of the 2016 BPS will raise overall productivity and efficiency in the county economy .The private sector will be expected to complement the County Government's efforts as a key driver of our economic transformation agenda while the County Government will endeavor to create an enabling environment.
Pillar I: Sustaining Conducive Business Environment for Investment Opportunities
15 .As stated in the 2015 CFSP, the objective of the reforms under Pillar I is to create conducive business environment by maintaining macroeconomic stability and improving security so as to encourage investment opportunities in the county.
Macroeconomic Stability for Sustained Growth and Development
16Maintaining macroeconomic stability is a prerequisite for sustained and inclusive development. The broad objective of macroeconomic policy is to contribute to economic and social well-being in an equitable and sustainable manner through employment generation, as well as providing fiscal space to address other critical social concerns. As such the County and National Governments will continue to pursue prudent fiscal and monetary policies that are supportive of accelerated inclusive growth and development.
17Our fiscal policy strategy aims at a strong revenue effort and containing the growth of total expenditure, while shifting composition of expenditure from recurrent to capital expenditure and eliminating unproductive expenditures.
18.Monetary policy aims to maintain a low rate of inflation of around 5 percent, strengthen the international reserves position to over 4.5 months of import cover and to provide space for sustainable increase in credit to the private sector to support productive activities. This will be maintained within low and stable interest rates and competitive exchange rate.
Enhancing Security for Sustained Growth and Employment
19.Security continues to be critical for social economic development of the county. Recent security challenges have caused dismal performance of the tourism sector leading to general loss of jobs and negative multiplier effect on other sectors of the county economy like agriculture, trade and investments.
20. Following the insecurity incidences in 2014, the National Government prioritized security and in the 2015/16, allocated significant resources to support the security agencies. Over the medium term, the strategy will be on strengthening the coordination among security agencies, scaling up investments towards modernization, enhancing security operations and investigations, building professional capacity of the force and strengthening partnership with communities.
21 .To enhance security and stability in the county's economy, this 2016 CFSP re-emphasizes the proposals made in our last year's CFSP. The County Government will fast track the measures which were put forward. These include (i)the completion of street lighting in all major centres including Kwale, Ukunda, Kinango, Taru, Msambweni, Kombani, Samburu, Lunga Lunga among others in a PPP framework(ii)setting up of rehabilitation centres to rehabilitate hard drug addicts in a bid to minimize crime(iii)resettlement programs for squatters and historical injustice victims through the department of lands, physical planning and natural
Pillar II: Infrastructure Expansion to Facilitate Economic Transformation
22. In order to ensure sustained economic transformation, and a competitive economy, the County Government embarked on massive public investments in road and water supplies.
Further Expanding Road Network
23. Much progress has been achieved in the implementation of road rehabilitation and construction programme and a number of key programmes in the road sector have been completed. In the FY 2014/2015,250 kilometers were upgraded, 651 kilometers targeted to be done during the current FY 2015/2016.
24.Over the medium term, the strategy is to develop the road transport in order to have an effective, efficient and secure road network. The County Government will continue to enhance road network connectivity across the county with the aim of enhancing trade and agricultural productivity. The County department of Infrastructure and Public Works will continue to open up more feeder roads, Sub County and County roads to improve on general competitiveness of the county economy. The County government is planning to upgrade 1200 kilometers of roads in the coming FY 2016/2017.
Access to Adequate, Affordable and Reliable Energy Supply
25The realization of the development objectives set out in the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP 2013 – 2017) and Vision 2030 will be feasible if quality energy services are availed in a sustainable, competitive, cost effective and affordable manner to all sectors of the economy.
26.The County’s economy will benefit from the National Government's programmeto generate additional 5,000 MW of power, mainly comprising of renewable geothermal, wind and coal, in partnership with private sector players, by end of 2017. Already programmes on rural electrification have been implemented and significant progress has already been attained.The additional 615MW electricity to the National grid will significantly reduce the cost of power. Going forward, there will be modest reduction in cost of energy as new sources of power come on board and thus reduce further the cost of doing business.The coming on-stream of additional power supplies at a much lower tariff will significantly spur growth of enterprises and industries, and accelerate the realization of the planned economic transformation agenda.
27 .To sustain the growing demand for efficient energy supply, Kenya Power has implemented a programme to connect at least 70 percent of Kenyan households to electricity by 2017 and subsequently reduce the connection cost and time by at least 60 percent in the medium term.
28. At the same time and partly to conserve the environment and encourage value addition, the National Government will facilitate the development of micro hydro power projects, particularly in irrigation schemes, rivers and streams for small and medium size enterprises and households. The Government will also rollout a program of green biomass digester bag technology in at least 100,000 households annually to facilitate access to healthier cooking and lighting methods and encourage production of organic fertilizer for enhanced agricultural productivity.
29. Further as outlined in the 2015 CFSP, the County Government has the intention of encouraging usage of solar and bio- mass to produce energy for households and small medium size enterprises within the county as part of adopting the green energy initiative. Initiatives mentioned in the CIDP 2013- 2017 such as assessing the viability of hydroelectricity generation along Umba and Marere rivers will be explored. Other sources of power generation such as Coal power from the Taru basin and thermal power in Ukunda will be undertaken through Public Private Partnership initiative. These interventions will complement generation of power for both industries and households.
Pillar III: Sectoral Policies
Agricultural Transformation
30.Agriculture is one of the key sectors aimed at delivering the 10 per cent economic growth under Vision 2030. In addition, majority of the County population live in rural areas and derive their livelihood from agriculture. Therefore, promoting substantial investments in agriculture is key to the county economic transformation. Improving agricultural productivity and value addition would thus be an effective way to enhance food security, employment creation, income generation, industrialization and ultimately, economic transformation through stimulating growth of related sectors of the economy such as agro-processing; storage and transport; wholesale and retail; construction; financial services as well as export diversification and growth. This would also move us towards achieving the second Sustainable Development Goal (ending hunger) which aims at achieving food and nutrition security and promotion of sustainable agricultural development.
31. The county government has over the last three years put in place policies, strategies and interventions to ensure sustainable food security within the county. During the 2013/14 - 2015/16 MTEF period, key achievements made include: 65 and 110 metric tonnes of fertilizer and seeds respectively were distributed to farmers; 86,777 hectares of land was put under food production, 22,015 was put under cash crop production,500 hectares of irrigation land was developed and over 1200 livestock breeds improved among others.
32.The County Government priority investments include; improving food security, research and extension services, agro-processing and re-organization of farmers into viable cluster groups for economies of scale, establishing a fruit manufacturing plant and organized marketing.
Supporting Growth of Manufacturing for Employment Creation
33.The manufacturing sector is viewed as a catalyst for moving the county economy up the value chain and in particular in the agriculture sector for growth of exports and job creation.
34. As outlined in the 2015 BPS, the National Government developed the industrial transformation programme to build a network of competitive Special Economic Zones (SEZ) which will attract new investments, expansion of infrastructure, reform of the regulatory environment, adoption of innovative, more efficient technologies with the participation of the private sector to exploit business opportunities in regional and international markets. Some of the key achievements made to boost the industrial sector in the countyfor the MTEF period 2014/15 to 2015/16 include: capacity development on governance issues for cooperative societies, conduct of feasibility studies on establishment of fruit processing plant and establishment of trade revolving fund under the County department of Trade and Cooperative Development.
35.Going forward, the County Government will prioritize on the establishment of the Kwale Economic Development Corporation (KEDEC), blacksmiths and associated disciplines (jua kali) development and establishment of jua kali industrial parks. In addition, the county government will embark on improving applied technology and artisan training in our youth polytechnics to improve technical skills for better productivity. Furthermore, the County Government, working with Development Partners, will put in place a program to support Small and Medium Enterprises to acquire small industrial plants for value addition of agricultural produce and products currently produced under the Jua kali.
Tourism Recovery, Sports, Culture, and Arts
36.The County Government recognizes the vital role tourism, culture, sports and art play in sustainable development. Cultural diversity, Sports and Art foster inclusion, a guarantee of social cohesion and a prerequisite for peace hence socio-economic development. Furthermore, the centrality to our tourism strategy cannot be underestimated. The tourism sector has been boosted by the recent withdrawal of travel advisories by key tourist source countries, hosting of the 10th World Trade Organization Ministerial Conference and visit by high profile world leaders.
37.Key achievements that have been realized by the County Government include; initiated improvement of sports facilities, demarcation and preservation of Kayas and other heritage collections for posterity including Maji Moto tourist attraction site, completion of county stadia Phase I and II and conduct of cultural competitions.
38.Going forward and building on the progress made thus far, the county government working in partnership with key stakeholders, will continue to promote and develop tourism, sports and conserve county heritage and enhance integration, cohesion and patriotism, and promote a vibrant art. Attention will be drawn towards: (i)Facilitating tourism promotion and marketing to increase international arrivals and tourism revenue;(ii)Conduct of Kwale County Investment forum to market the county as the preferred tourist destination centre,(iii)Development and management of sports facilities,fast tracking the completion of county stadia and establishment of sport academies,(iv)Encouraging the growth of youth talents in sports and arts and nurture them as catalyst for growth and development through financial support to sports organization and providing training and capacity building as well as empowering skilled cultural practitioners;
Pillar IV: Social Sectors
39. In order to ensure sustained economic transformation, reduce the burden of economic shocks on the households and enhance access to services by most county citizens, the County Government will continue to invest in quality and accessible healthcare services and quality education as well as strengthening the social safety nets programme.
Health Care
40.The Kwale County’s strategy on health care aims to build a healthy population that can ensure higher productivity for sustained economic transformation and long term county development. This strategy shall build on the progress achieved and continue accomplish the programs as outlined in the CIDP. The strategy will involve; research on medicines and health services provision, construction and equipping dispensaries and maternity wings, enhancing the community health strategy to improve access to medical health care and improving quality assurance spot checks and supervision in all health facilities.
41.Key achievements recorded during the MTEF period 2013/14 – 2015/16 include; construction and equipping of 16 dispensaries, construction and operationalization of 17 maternity wings, purchase and distribution of medical drugs worth Kshs 347 million and employment of 310 medical personnel. Other outcomes as per its mandate include: reduction of Under Five Mortality from 115 per 1,000 live births in 2003 to 74 per 1,000 live births in 2013/14 and Infant Mortality from 77 per 1000 live births to 52 per 1000 live births in the same period. The sector has also seen increased immunization coverage for under 1 year olds from 71% in 2008 to 90% in 2014. Births attended by skilled health personnel have also increased from 40% in 2012 to 49% in 2014. This may be attributed to decentralization of services by opening up of new facilities, equipping of facilities with new delivery beds and the improved referral system by the county’s acquisition 6 new ambulances Others include five rounds of polio immunization campaign conducted targeting high risk border counties in addition to two nation-wide polio immunization campaigns targeting under-5 children.
Quality and Relevant Education for all Kwale Citizens
42.As outlined in the 2015 CFSP, the county will continue to invest heavily on Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) and youth training. The policy goal is to ensurethat there is quality learning for all children and youth, provision of adequate teaching and training services and improvement of performance and professional conduct of teachers for increased learning outcomes.
43.Key achievements that have been realized include; construction and equipping of 102 ECDE centres, purchase and distribution of learning materials and equipment to 350 centres and employment of 450 ECDE care givers and quality assurance officer through the County Public Service Board.During the same period, the school feeding programme provided midday meals to approximately seventy three thousand pre-primary children aged below five years. As a result, the enrollment rate at ECDE level improved significantly to 76 percent against the set Education For All (EFA) target of 80 percent. In the youth training section, key achievements include rehabilitation of seven youth polytechnics and upgrading of four polytechnics with relevant courses for the job market and 65 students were supported through the county scholarship and bursary programme to study abroad for higher education.
44.Going forward the medium term strategy will focus on: (i)Enhancing and strengthening the support to bright needy students through scholarship programmes, bursaries and grants.(ii)Providing educational delivery standards and strengthening quality control in order to enforce and uphold quality education; (iii)Align education and training curricula to the demands of the changing labor markets by developing competency based education and training for TVET and revitalizing youth polytechnics.(iv)Strengthening Early Childhood Development Education infrastructure by constructing more ECDE centres at least three in each ward in the FY 2016/17 to improve on access to ECDE.
Empowering Youth, Women and Persons with Disabilities
45.The County Government recognizes that for the county to realize its full potential, it is important to empower the youth, women and persons with special abilities and remove all obstacles to ensure full participation in social economic development of the county. The County government is therefore committed to promote gender and youth empowerment and improve the livelihood for these vulnerable groups. During the 2013/14 – 2015/16 MTEF period, the county government through the department of Community Development, Culture and Talent Management funded 74 youth groups,217 women groups and 29 PWDS groups through the youth and women revolving fund.Theaim is to empower the youth, women and persons with special abilities to engage in meaningful and productive activities to improve their livelihood. In the coming financial year, the strategy is to emphasize on capacity development to ensure full utilization of the county revolving funds, improve governance of cooperatives and enhancing marketing strategy.
Environmental Conservation and Making Water Accessible
46.The County Government recognizes that protecting and conserving the environment, underpinned by effective climate change mitigation and adaptation measures is fundamental to sustain access to clean water, clean environment and a healthy productive population. Indeed, safe drinking water and sanitation do complement efforts towards improved primary health care and productivity of labour. For this reason, the county government will continue to invest in clean water supply, harvest rain water as well as to protect and conserve the environment.
47.So far, this sector has made achievements as follows: implementation of the forest development and environmental management programme, expansion of various water pipeline systems, construction and drilling of dams and boreholes and rain water harvesting in institutions. Over the medium term, the county government will prioritize developing, maintaining and managing water supply systems and enhancement of the tree planting programme.
48. In order to mitigate the impact of climate change, the Government will continue to mainstream climate change measures into its projects and programmes. This includes: tree planting and re-forestation, water harvesting, smart agriculture, technologies that reduce pollution levels, investments in green energy (micro-hydro, solar, biomass) construction of mini dams, water pans and rehabilitation of existing dams and water pans. As part of this process, the Government will continue to construct and rehabilitate water pans, roll out water harvesting and storage in all public institutions throughout the country, and invest in mid-size dams to store water for household and agricultural use.
Pillar V: Devolution for Better Service Delivery
49.The decentralization of service delivery and resources through Devolution has had a profound effect on the lives of Kwale citizens. The strategy by the National government to strengthen institutions and capacity to link inter-governmental fiscal transfers will revenue raising capacity of the County governments Kwale included. This will enhance service delivery and ensure equitable economic development. In the 2016 BPS, the county allocation of its equitable share from the National Government for FY 2016/2017 has been raised to Ksh. 5,630,578,438.00 from an allocation of Kshs 5,090,842,160.00 and Ksh.4,472,304,285.00 in FY 2015/16 and 2014/15 respectively.
50.Further, the National Government will implement a strategy to enhance revenue management by Counties in order to strengthen their revenue raising measures and correct duplication and distortions in local taxes and fees that hurt the business environment The National Treasury through the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC) will initiate the development of a national framework legislation to support the enhancement of county own-source revenue. In addition, a comprehensive review and harmonization of all existing legislation relating to county taxes, fees, user charges and business licenses will be undertaken.
II . RECENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS
Overview of Recent Economic Developments
51.Kenya’s economic growth has been robust supported by significant infrastructure investments, construction, mining, and lower energy prices and improvement in agriculture following improved weather. The economy grew by 5.3 percent in 2014 and is projected at 5.6 percent in 2015, 6.0 percent in 2016 and 6.5 percent in the medium term.
52. Macroeconomic stability has been preserved with inflation remaining on average within target. Overall month on month inflation was at 8.0 percent in December 2015 from 6.0 percent in December 2014. This was attributed to the increase in prices of several food items which outweighed the decreases as well as increase in the Alcoholic Beverages, Tobacco & Narcotics index.
53. The Kenya Shilling exchange rate has stabilized following increased foreign exchange inflows in the money market. The current level of foreign exchange reserves, backstopped by the precautionary program with the IMF, continues to provide an adequate cushion against exogenous shocks. Furthermore, the current account deficit narrowed, mainly due to a lower oil import bill, and a slowdown in consumer imports.
54. Short term interest rates have declined following improved monetary conditions that led to increased liquidity in the money market. The interbank rate was at 6.2 percent as of 21st January 2016 while the 91 day Treasury bill rate was 11.4 percent as of 22nd January 2016.
Growth Update
55.The economy grew by 5.3 percent in 2014 (Chart 1) supported by strong performance in most sectors of the economy which offset the contraction in the tourism sector. Kenya’s economic growth remained resilient in 2015. The first three quarters of 2015 recorded an average of 5.5 percent growth compared to 5.3 percent growth in a similar period in 2014.
56.In Quarter three of 2015, the economy grew by 5.8 percent, an improvement from a growth of 5.0 percent and 5.6 percent in quarter one and two of 2015 respectively. The growth in the third quarter was supported by improved performance in agriculture, forestry and fishing (7.1 percent), construction (14.1 percent), wholesale and retail trade (6.5 percent), transport and storage (8.7 percent) and electricity and water supply (11.0 percent). The accommodation and restaurant sector improved during the third quarter of 2015 with a contraction of 2.3 percent from a contraction of 16.0 percent during the same period 2014. This improvement is as a result of the withdrawal of the travel advisories by some key tourist source countries.

Inflation within target
57.Overall month on month inflation was at 8.0 percent in December 2015 from 7.3 percent in November 2015 (Chart 2).This was attributed to the Food and Non-Alcoholic Drink’s Index which increased by 1.23 percent following increases in prices of several food items; the Alcoholic Beverages, Tobacco & Narcotics index increased by 11.46 per cent from November 2015. However, during the same period there were notable falls in the cost of electricity, kerosene and cooking gas.
Chart 2: Inflation Rate
Source:KNBS
58.On average, the annual inflation rate was 6.5 percent in December 2015 compared to 6.9 percent in December 2014 and was therefore, within the current allowable margin of 2.5 percent on either side of the target of 5.0 percent.
Private Sector Credit
59.Net credit to Government grew by 36.0 percent in the year to December 2015 compared to a contraction of 4.5 percent in a corresponding period in 2014. Bank credit to the private sector grew by 18.0 percent compared with 22.2 percent growth in the same period in 2014.
60.The sectors of the economy that received improved contribution of the private sector Bank credit in the year to December 2015 were; business services (31.7 percent), trade (19.3 percent), transport and communication (10.2 percent) and building and construction (7.3 percent). Credit to private households declined by 9.1 percent in December 2015 and its contribution to annual credit growth decreased from 26.2 percent in December 2014 to 8.6 percent in December 2015.
Interest rates
61.Liquidity conditions remained tight between September and October 2015, with short-term interest rates remaining above the Central Bank Rate (CBR) and the rates on treasury bills rising substantially. This tight liquidity situation improved beginning November 2015 resulting in reduction in all the money market interest rates.
62. The interbank rate averaged 6.2 percent as of 21st January 2016 compared to 7.3 percent in December 2015 and 8.8 percent in November 2015. The 91-day Treasury bill rate declined to 11.4 percent as of 22nd January 2016 from 21.7 percent in October 2015. The 182 day Treasury bill also declined to 13.7 percent as of 22nd January 2016 from 21.5 percent in October 2015 while the 364 day Treasury bill rate averaged at 14.3 percent from 21.6 percent over the same period.
63.The Kenya Banks Reference Rate (KBRR) was reviewed upwards from 8.5 percent in January 2015 to 9.87 percent in July 2015 as a result of the upward revision of CBR. The increase of the KBRR resulted to the increase of the average lending rates to 17.4 percent in December 2015 compared to 16.0 percent in December 2014 while the deposit rate increased to 7.9 percent from 6.8 percent over the same period. As a result, interest rate spread was at 9.5 percent in December 2015 from 9.2 percent in December 2014, a reflection of the increase in both the lending rate and deposit rate.

Balance of Payments Developments
64.The overall balance of payments recorded a deficit of US$ 60 million in the year to November 2015 from a surplus of US$ 872 million in the year to November 2014. The deficit reflected a decrease in the capital and financial account that more than offset the improvement in the current account.
65.The current account deficit was at US$ 4,366 million in the year to November 2015 from a deficit of US$ 5,862 million in the year to November 2014. As a share to GDP, the current account deficit improved to 7.2 percent in November 2015 from 10.7 percent in November 2014 due to the decline in the import payments despite the declining export receipts. The value of services declined in the period under review mainly due to the decline in the receipts from tourism and transport services.
66.The deficit in the merchandise account narrowed by US$ 2,023 million to US$ 10,568 million in the year to November 2015 reflecting a decline in growth (12.4 percent) in the value of merchandise imports despite the decline in the value of merchandise exports by 4.8 percent. The capital and financial account surplus declined to US$ 4,305 million in the year to November 2015 from US$ 6,734 million in the year to November 2014. The decline reflects 37.5 percent decrease in the financial account surplus that more than offset the US$84.2 million increase in the capital account surplus.
Foreign Exchange Reserves
67.Gross foreign exchange holdings of the banking system increased by 5.0 percent from US$ 8,964 million in November 2014 to US$ 9,411 million in November 2015. Gross official reserves held by the Central Bank decreased to US$ 7,161 million (4.6 months of import cover) in November 2015 from US$ 7,274 million (4.6 months of import cover) in November 2014. The commercial banks’ reserves increased from US$ 1,691 million in 2014 to US$ 2,250 million in 2015.
The Kenya Shilling Exchange Rate
68.The Kenya Shilling exchange rate which had weakened against major international currencies, for most of the year strengthened following foreign exchange inflows into the money market. The currency stabilized at Ksh 102.2 against the US dollar as of 21st January 2016 compared to Ksh 102.8 in October 2015. The depreciation of the currency was mainly due to the global strengthening of the US Dollar on the international market, and high dollar demand by importers in the domestic market. Against the Sterling Pound, the shilling strengthened to Ksh 145.2 as of 21st January 2016 from Ksh 153.3 in December 2015 and against the Euro, the exchange rate also strengthened to Ksh 110.8 from Ksh 111.1 over the same period. The Kenya shilling has continued to display relatively less volatility compared with the major regional currencies due to Diaspora remittances, increased foreign investor participation in the NSE.

Stock Market Developments
69.Activities at the stock market remained strong in the year to December 2015. The NSE 20 share index stood at 4,003 points in December 2015, an improvement from 3,994 points in November 2015. At the same time, Market capitalization improved to Ksh 2,031 billion in December 2015 from Ksh 2,015 recorded in November 2015, although lower than Ksh 2,300 billion in December 2014. The drop in market capitalization in the year to December 2015 is as a result of an increase in share supply which depressed the overall share prices.
70.Foreign equity market turnover for the month of December 2015 stood at Ksh 16.1 billion from Ksh 11.7 billion in November 2015, representing an increase of 37.6 percent. December 2015 bond turnover stood at Ksh 23.4 billion, 27.2 percent higher than Ksh 18.4 billion recorded in November 2015.
Fiscal Performance in FY 2015/16 and Emerging Challenges
71. Implementation of 2015/16 budget is progressing well despite initial challenges encountered at the start of the financial year mainly brought about by the delay in release of funds by the national exchequer. In addition, the setting up of electronic payment system platform- the e-procurement has resulted in delayed budget execution/payments to suppliers of services between July and December 2015.
72.By the end of December 2015, total County own revenue amounted to Ksh 89.98 million against a target of Ksh 300 million implying a shortfall of Ksh 210.02 million. In addition, the total half year county own revenue collected up to December 2015 represented a 6.95 percent decline compared to Kshs 96.7 million collected during the same period up to December 2014. The underperformance in county own revenue was mainly on account of the pending court cases against the operationalization of the 2014 County Finance Act which has significantly affected the collection of revenue on both silica sand and homalime and the slow implementation of the revenue automation system
73.Total development expenditure as at December 2015 amounted to Ksh. 1,239,554,313.00 against a target of Kshs 3,793,278,214.00. This represented a 32.68 percent absorption rate. Recurrent expenditure amounted to Kshs 774,850,135.00 against a target of Kshs 2,749,483,687.00 representing an absorption rate of 28.18 percent during the same period.
2015/16 Revised Estimates
74.As the FY 2015/16 is progressing, requests for additional funding amounting to about Ksh 113 million have been made to the County Treasury by various county departments. The County Treasury has recommended for funding requests deemed to be critical amounting to Ksh 57 million. However, these critical expenditures will be funded solely through expenditure rationalization. The overall fiscal framework after the revisions is depicted in Table 2.1 below.

III.MACROECONOMIC POLICYFRAMEWORK AND MEDIUM TERM OUTLOOK
External Environment
75.Global growth for 2015 is projected at 3.1 percent, a slowdown from a growth of 3.4 percent in 2014. Prospects across the main countries and regions remain uneven; the recovery in advanced economies is expected to pick up slightly, while activity in emerging market and developing economies is projected to slow primarily reflecting weaker prospects for some large emerging market economies and oil-exporting countries. Global activity is projected to gather some pace in 2016 to 3.6 percent due to the recovery in growth in advanced economies. However, with declining commodity prices, depreciating emerging market currencies, and increasing financial market volatility, downside risks to the outlook have risen, particularly for emerging market and developing economies.

Source: IMF World Economic Outlook
76.Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to weaken from 5.0 percent in 2014 to 3.8 percent in 2015. The slowdown in 2015 is primarily driven by the repercussions of declining commodity prices, particularly those for oil, as well as lower demand from China, the largest single trade partner of sub-Saharan Africa, and the tightening of global financial conditions for the region’s frontier market economies. Among the region’s oil importers a majority will continue to experience solid growth, especially low-income countries, where investment in infrastructure continues and private consumption remains strong. The growth will pick up in 2016 to 4.3 percent, driven by sustained infrastructure investment; buoyant services sectors, and strong agricultural production, even as oil-related activities provide less support.
Kenya’s Growth Prospects
77.The economic growth prospects for FY 2016/17 and the medium term takes into account developments in the national environment and internal risks while accommodating the County government’s strategic objectives as outlined in the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP 2013 – 2017) and the second Medium Term Plan (MTP) for the period 2013-2017 of Vision 2030. Real GDP is estimated to expand by 5.9 percent in FY 2014/2015, 6.3 percent in FY 2015/2016 and 6.4 percent by FY 2018/19.This robust broad based growth will be supported by increased production in agriculture, completion of infrastructural projects to boost economic and recovery of Tourism.
78.The projected growth assumes normal weather pattern in 2016 and the medium term. Inflation is expected to revert within 5.0 percent target and interest rates and shilling exchange rate expected to be stable .
Risks to the Outlook
79.The risks to the economic outlook for 2016/17 and the medium-term include delayed disbursement of funds from the national exchequer and continued uneven and sluggish growth in advanced economies that will impact negatively on our exports and tourism activities.
80.Public expenditure pressures, especially recurrent expenditures, continue to pose fiscal risk to the County Government. Huge wage bill is imminent as the County Government continues to hire personnel in key sectors .
81.The county government in conjunction with the national government is working out measures to safeguard macroeconomic stability as these risk materialize.
Fiscal Policy
82.As pointed out in the 2015 CFSP and reiterated in this 2016 CFSP, the County’s Medium term fiscal policy seeks to support a rapid sustainable county economy to ensure effective service delivery. Towards this end, the county government will take deliberate efforts in allocating adequate resources for development programmes at 54 percent compared to 46 percent allocation for recurrent expenditures. This represents an increase from 52 percent allocation on development programmes in FY 2015/16.
83.The Fiscal policy underpinning the FY 2016/17 Budget and MTEF aims at raising county own revenue from an estimated 4 percent of annual budget in FY 2014/15 to 10 percent of annual budget over the medium term while containing growth of total expenditure.
Adherence to Fiscal Responsibility Principles
84.In particular, and as outlined in the 2015 CFSP the county government will over the medium term endeavor to ensure strict adherence to the fiscal responsibility principles outlined herein below:-
i. Over the medium term, a maximum of 60% of the county budget shall be allocated to development expenditure. Currently, the county government has allocated 54 percent of the county budget to development programmes in the coming FY 2016/17 with the expectation that it will expand to 60 percent over the medium term.
ii. The county government’s expenditure on wages and benefits for its employees shall not exceed a percentage of the county government revenue as prescribed by regulations.On wages and benefits, the share of expenditure to our total revenue was 25 percent in financial year 2013/14, 23.50 percent in 2014/2015 and is set to decline to about 20 percent by financial year 2017/18.
iii. Over the medium term, the county government borrowings shall be used only for the purpose of financing development expenditure and not for recurrent expenditure. The county government’s policy is aimed at utilizing any external financing only for capital projects. Although counties have not been allowed to borrow, strict adherence to this policy will be ensured once the permission is granted.
iv. Public debt and obligations shall be maintained at a substantial level as approved by the County Assembly. In our medium term debt strategy, the county government shall at all times ensure public debt sustainability. At the same time ensure moderate domestic borrowing to facilitate private sector investment to accelerate economic growth.
v. Fiscal risks shall be managed prudently. The county government shall study the macroeconomic forecasts issued by the national government and utilize them for projections in the budget. To cater for urgent and unforeseen expenditure, a 2 percent of our revenue allocation is factored in our budget.
vi. A reasonable degree of predictability with respect to the level of tax rates and tax bases shall be maintained, taking into account any tax reforms that may be made in the future. Based on this principle, the county treasury is still committed to initiating a research based on macroeconomic factors in the county to ensure there is a degree of predictability in all the local taxes, rates and charges levied by the county government.
IV. FY 2016/17 BUDGET AND THE MEDIUM TERM
Overview
85.The resource envelope available for allocation among the programmes is based on the fiscal policy and medium term fiscal framework which is explained as follows:
Revenue Projections
86. The medium term fiscal framework for the FY 2016/17 is set based on macroeconomic policy framework set out in Chapter III.
87. The FY 2016/17 county budget targets revenue collection of about Ksh.6,349,918,339from all the sources of revenues.The county government is expecting to receive Kshs5,630,578,438.00 as its equitable share from the National Government, Kshs389,339,901.00 being special funds, grants and loans and Kshs330,000,000.00 from the county own revenue sources. This will be an improvement from previous financial year’s allocation of Kshs5,125,697,562.00, Kshs339,828,678.02 and Kshs300,000,000.00 being county’s equitable share from the National Government, special funds, grants and loans and county own revenue for FY 2015/16 respectively.
Expenditure Projections
88. Total county expenditure in the FY 2016/17 is projected at Kshs 6,349,918,339.00 compared to an expenditure of Kshs 2,014,404,448.00 that the county had spent as at 31st December 2015.
89.Recurrent expenditure will amount to Kshs 2,748,733,757.00 compared to Kshs 2,749,483,687.00 allocated in the current FY 2015/16.
90.The ceiling for development expenditures in nominal terms amounts to Ksh3,211,844,681.00 in the FY 2016/17 compared to Kshs2,931,247,548.48 allocated in the current FY 2015/16.
91.Expenditure ceilings on goods and services for sectors/departments are based on funding allocation in the current FY 2015/16 budget as the starting point. The ceilings are then adjusted to take into account one-off expenditures in FY 2015/16 and then an adjustment factor is applied to take into account the general increase in prices.
92.A contingency of about Ksh 40 Million will be provided for in the FY 2016/2017 Budget to cater for emergencies and calamities which may happen affecting citizens lives.
93.In terms of expenditure ratios, this 2016 CFSP proposes 56 per cent of the budget to be allocated to development programmes while the balance of 44 per cent be allocated to recurrent expenditure. On the recurrent expenditure, personnel emoluments will be allocated 24 per cent of the budget 20 per cent of the budget will cover operations and maintenance.
Key Priorities for the 2016/17 Medium Term Budget
94.The sector budget submissions will be critically reviewed to identify any non-priority expenditures and eliminate them. The savings made will then be shifted to the priority programmes. The CIDP 2013 – 2017 strategic objectives,the sector planned priorities outlined in this 2016 CFSP and our spirit of attaining the objectives of Vision 2030 will guide the resource allocation in the 2016/17 budget.Specifically,resource allocation criteria shall consider the following:-
(i.) Linkage of the programme with objectives of the County Integrated Development Plan 2013 – 2017, Kenya Vision 2030 and its second Medium Term Plan (2013 – 2017).
(ii.) Degree to which a programme addresses core poverty interventions.
