3. BACKGROUND. A budget is a quantitative expression of a plan for a defined period of time. The two basic elements of any budget are the revenues and expenditures. A County budget is a County document presenting the County’s proposed revenues and spending for a financial year.revenuesspending One of the main goals of devolution is to bring decision-making closer to the people. And one of the key arenas of decision-making is the budget process. The Public Finance Management Act, 2012. A good budget analysis should contain a narrative along with any tables. 3

4. PROBLEM STATEMENT Kenya’s controller of Budget portrays questionable spending practices in Kenya’s Counties, with most Counties having high percentages spent on recurrent expenditures and disappointing spending on development programs. Priorities in budget expenditure have also been questioned with some of the Counties performing poorly in service delivery. Are the new Kenyan Counties developing uniformly? Are the newly formed counties sustainable? Given limited resources and poverty levels in our Counties. Undeniably, there are many advantages of viewing data inform of a map compared to viewing the same in tabular form. 4

6. OBJECTIVES The overall objective of this project is to develop a GIS-based method in mapping, analysis and effective management Kenya's County Budget expenditures. The specific objectives include to 1.Identify data for County budget expenditure. 2.Develop a County Budget Expenditure geodatabase. 3.Apply the County Budget Expenditure geodatabase to come up with useful information concerning County budget expenditure. 6

25. 25CONCLUSION The goal of the project was to map and analyze Kenya’s 2013/2014 budget expenditure at County level. Selected Counties were used as the unit of analysis. By and large this objective has been achieved. The specific objectives in this case were achieved as a county Budget expenditure database was developed, analyzed and used to come up with useful and logical information concerning the 2013/2014 county budget expenditure.

26. 26RECOMMENDATION. In order for the newly formed Counties (under the new devolved government system) to be sustainable in the near future there needs not only to be wise and smart spending among the Counties but also open, transparent and accountable County Governments. The recommendations from the project are;  There should be more efforts by individual Counties to invest in efficient and effective revenue mobilization.  Quick measures need to be undertaken by the Counties to immensely cut on the huge overspending on recurrent expenditures.  C.R.A should on its part receive and analyze reports from all Counties on a regular basis.  Encourage more Public Participation in Budget making and implementation.  The judiciary should be given more powers to move with speed and prosecute those found to have misused public funds.  Appoint persons of integrity to public offices.
