FOREWORD
I
am pleased to present the National Government Budget Implementation Review Report for the first six months
of the Financial Year (FY) 2023/24 covering 1st July to 31st December 2023. It has been prepared in fulfilment
of Article 228 of the Constitution of Kenya and Section 9 of the Controller of Budget (COB) Act, 2016, which
require the Controller of Budget to submit to Parliament quarterly budget implementation reports of the National
and County governments within thirty days after the end of each quarter.
The report provides information on budget implementation on the approved budget for FY 2023/24 for the Govern-
ment. It contains data on receipts into the Consolidated Fund, which is meant to fund government, funds released to
support expenditure, budget absorption and key issues identified to be hampering budget implementation and req-
uisite recommendations to address the issues. The report is based on data from the latest approved budget estimates
for the FY 2023/24, financial reports submitted to the Controller of Budget Ministries, Department and Agencies
(MDAs) in compliance with Section 83(4) of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012, data from the Integrated
Financial Information Management System and information gathered by COB when executing her mandate.
The report provides an avenue for the COB to publicize information on budget implementation for the government
in line with Section 39(8) of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012. In this regard, it specifically informs the
legislature as they play a key role in budget approval and overseeing its implementation, and the Executive who
implements the budget. I therefore invite readers of the report to give feedback on matters relating to budget imple-
mentation contained in this report.
I take this opportunity to appreciate MDAs’ for submitting the financial and non-financial reports to my office and
my staff for compiling this report. I commit to remaining steadfast in ensuring budget implementation information
is prepared and publicized in line with the law.

he National Government Budget Implementation Review Report for the first six months of FY 2023/24
covers 1st July to 31st December 2023. It has been prepared in fulfilment of Article 228 of the Constitution
of Kenya and Section 9 of the Controller of Budget Act, 2016, which require the CoB to submit quarterly
budget implementation reports for the National and County governments to Parliament.
The FY 2023/24 budget is being implemented under the auspices of the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agen-
da (BETA). It is the first budget to be implemented under the fourth Medium-Term Plan (MTP) covering 2023
to 2027 of Kenya’s Vision 2030 and aims at achieving economic turnaround and inclusive growth by increasing
investments in at least five sectors that are envisaged to have a major impact on the economy and household wel-
fare. These sectors include Agricultural Transformation, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), Housing
and Settlement, Healthcare, Digital Superhighway, and the Creative Industry. Further, the Agenda also focuses on
increasing employment, equitable distribution of income, and social security, while expanding the tax revenue base
and increasing foreign exchange earnings.
Already, tax measures outlined in the Finance Act 2023, as well as other proposed strategies laid out in the National
Treasury’s drafted medium-term revenue plan evidence implementation of this agenda. Additionally, the rollout of
several Housing Development Projects under the Housing Development and Human Settlement Programme and
the digitisation and financial inclusion for the MSMEs programme, which was allocated Kshs.8.52 billion in FY
2023/24 indicate the implementation progress.
The original gross budget for the National Government for FY 2023/24 was Kshs.4.34 trillion, revised to Kshs.4.54
trillion compared to Kshs.3.67 trillion in FY 2022/23. It comprised Kshs.783.22 billion for ministerial development
expenditure (17 per cent of the revised gross budget), and Kshs.3.76 trillion for recurrent expenditure (comprising
of Kshs.1.68 trillion for recurrent ministerial expenditure (37 per cent) and Kshs.2.08 trillion for Consolidated Fund
Services (CFS) (45.8 per cent).
Receipts into the Consolidated Fund amounted to Kshs.1.44 trillion, representing 33.7 per cent of the revised annual
estimates of Kshs.4.28 trillion, compared to Kshs.1.44 trillion (40.5 per cent) received in the first half of FY 2022/23.
The total exchequer issues from the Consolidated Fund to MDAs, CFS, and County Governments amounted to
Kshs.1.44 trillion, representing 33.7 per cent of the revised net estimates, compared to Kshs.1.37 trillion (38.6 per
cent) recorded in the first six months of FY 2022/23. The exchequer issues comprised Kshs.70.41 billion (15.4 per
cent) for ministerial development expenditure, Kshs.560.99 billion (41.2 per cent) for ministerial recurrent expendi-
ture, Kshs.667.95 billion (32.1 per cent) to CFS and Kshs.142.47 billion as shareable revenue to County governments
(37.0 per cent) of the revised net estimates.
The total expenditure by the National Government amounted to Kshs.1.64 trillion, representing 36.1 per cent of the
revised gross estimates of Kshs.4.54 trillion compared to Kshs.1.44 trillion (39.1 per cent) recorded in the first half of
FY 2022/23. The expenditure comprised ministerial development expenditure at Kshs.197.41 billion (absorption rate
of 25.2 per cent) compared to Kshs.171.61 billion (absorption rate of 24 per cent), recurrent ministerial expenditure
at Kshs.752.92 billion (absorption rate of 44.8 per cent) compared to Kshs.677.04 billion (absorption rate of 48.2 per
cent) and CFS at Kshs.668.35 billion (32.1 per cent) compared to Kshs.593.65 billion (37.8 per cent) recorded in a
similar period FY 2022/23.
A review of the recurrent expenditure shows that Kshs.291.28 billion was spent on personnel emoluments and rep-
resents 38.6 per cent of the gross recurrent expenditure by MDAs. However, this amount does not include personnel
costs for the National Intelligence Service and the Military. Total Grants/transfers to other government institutions
were Kshs.346.62 billion, use of goods and services at Kshs.83.56 billion, while subsidies amounted to Kshs.27.84
billion.
During the reporting period, the Controller of Budget identified key issues and made recommendations to address
them. They included: delays in the release of exchequer to both MDAs and Counties, Overdrawn budget lines due to
budget rationalisation without considering expenditure already incurred, and a high level of public debt.
To address the challenges, the Controller of Budget recommends the timely release of exchequer issues, regulariza-
tion of overdrawn budget lines in the Supplementary Budget II and ensuring compliance with the set public debt
ceiling to curb further growth in public debt which results in high public debt expenditure.

T
he Office of the Controller of Budget (OCOB) is an independent office established under Article 228 of the
Constitution of Kenya. Its primary mandate is to oversee the implementation of the budgets of the National
and County governments by authorizing withdrawals from Public Funds under Articles 204, 206, and 207
of the Constitution, any other public fund and to report on the implementation of the budgets of the National and
County governments to each House of Parliament every four months.
This report covers the first half of FY 2023/24 and is prepared in line with Section 9(5) of the COB Act 2016, which
states that despite the first quarterly report of the year submitted under Section 9, each subsequent report shall con-
tain cumulative amounts from the beginning of that year. In the period under review, the government revised the
initial budget through Supplementary Budget I, which was approved by Parliament and assented to by the President.
The budget revisions were aimed at implementing presidential directives to cut down on non-core activities. It was
during this period, that the government targeted to boost revenue by introducing changes in the tax regime and
directed that monies collected by all MDAs and SAGAs be paid through a single paybill account.
The report is presented in six chapters. Chapter One is the introduction. Chapter Two presents receipts into the
Consolidated Fund and exchequers issued from the Consolidated Fund to fund expenditures for the Consolidated
Fund Services, ministerial development and recurrent budgets and the equitable shareable revenue to the forty-sev-
en counties.
Chapter Three presents a summary of budget performance by the government highlighting both the national gov-
ernment and the forty-seven counties, pending bills status, Consolidated Fund Services and MDAs’ expenditure by
economic classification disaggregated into major budget items. Consolidated Fund Services comprise Public debt,
Salaries, allowances and Miscellaneous Services, Pensions and gratuity.
Chapter Four presents the budget performance of eighty-one MDAs. This contains budget allocations, exchequer
issues as a percentage of net estimates and budget absorption by each MDAs. The absorption rate is the proportion
of expenditure to the gross budget and expresses the implementation percentage of the budget cumulatively in the
financial year. It also presents budget performance by programmes and sub-programmes and key achievements in
terms of non-financial deliverables and ongoing projects by MDAs in each of the ten sectors. The ten sectors include
(i) Agriculture, Rural and Urban Development (ARUD), (ii) Education, (iii) Energy, Infrastructure, and Information
Communications Technology, (iv) Environment Protection, Water and Natural Resources, (v) General Economic
and Commercial Affairs, (vi) Governance, Justice, Law and Order, (vii) Health, (viii) National Security, (ix) Public
Administration and International Relations, (x) Social Protection, Culture, and Recreation sector.
Chapter Five presents the key issues the Controller of Budget identified as restraining seamless budget implementa-
tion in the first six months of FY 2023/24 and the recommended remedies to address these challenges. Chapter Six
provides the report’s conclusion.

2.1 Introduction
This chapter presents the receipts into the Consolidated Fund (CF) and funds released from the CF in the first six
months of FY 2023/24. Funds released comprise disbursements to MDAs for development and recurrent expendi-
ture, Consolidated Fund Services and transfers to the forty-seven Counties.
This section presents a summary of receipts into the Consolidated Fund for the first six months of FY 2023/24. The
Consolidated Fund is established under Article 206(1) of the Constitution of Kenya and refers to the account into
which all money raised or received by or on behalf of the national government is paid. It nonetheless, excludes
monies reasonably excepted by an Act of Parliament and payable into other public funds established for a specific
purpose or is retained by the State organ that received it to defray its expenses. It is noteworthy that at the beginning
of FY 2023/24, the government directed all money collected by MDAs and SAGAs as a fee on services offered to be
deposited into a centralized pay bill account, 222222.
The initial FY 2023/24 revenue estimate was Kshs.4.13 trillion in the Approved Budget. This amount was subse-
quently revised to Kshs.4.28 trillion in Supplementary Budget I and is an increase compared to Kshs.3.62 trillion in
FY 2022/23. The growth is attributed to an increase in tax revenue projections.
To finance the budget, the government, through the National Treasury, budgeted to raise revenue from various
sources, which include Tax revenue (Kshs.2.50 trillion), Non-tax revenue (Kshs.80.93 billion), Domestic borrow-
ing (Kshs.851.9 billion- comprises of net domestic borrowing Kshs.471.36 billion and internal debt redemption/
roll-over Kshs.380.54 billion), External Loans and Grants (Kshs.849.76 billion) and other Domestic financings at
Kshs.3.19 billion.
In the first six months of FY 2023/24, total receipts into the Consolidated Fund were Kshs.1.44 trillion, representing
33.7 per cent of the revised annual target, compared to Kshs.1.43 trillion (40.5 per cent of the annual target) recorded
in a similar period of FY 2022/23. The receipts comprised opening balances from the previous financial year (FY
2022/23), Tax and Non-Tax Revenue, Domestic borrowing, External Loans and Grants, and Other Domestic Financ-
ing. Table 2.1 presents the statement of receipts into the Consolidated Fund for the First Six months of FY 2023/24.

During the review period, tax revenue recorded a performance of 42.1 per cent of the target of Kshs.2.5 trillion com-
pared to 46 per cent (a target of Kshs.2.07 trillion) recorded in a similar period in FY 2022/23.
The Tax revenue category contributed the highest proportion to total receipts at 72.9 per cent, as shown in Figure
2.1. Figure 2.1 shows the contribution by revenue streams into the Consolidated Fund in the first six months of FY
2023/24.
Trend analysis shows a marginal growth of 0.4 per cent (Kshs.6.20 billion) in receipts for the first six months of FY
2023/24 compared to a similar time in FY 2022/23.
The approved budget estimates have an allocation to all eighty-one MDAs, the forty-seven Counties and three Con-
solidated Fund Service Votes.
All revenue raised nationally is shared equitably between the national and county governments in line with Articles
202 and 203 of the Constitution. Further, the disbursement of the equitable share of revenue raised nationally to the
47 County Governments from the Consolidated Fund by the National Treasury is expected to be made as per the
approved disbursement schedule.
During the first six months of FY 2023/24, net exchequer issues to the National and County governments amounted
to Kshs.1.44 trillion, representing 33.7 per cent of the revised annual net estimates, compared to Kshs.1.37 billion
(38.6 per cent) issued in a similar period of FY 2022/23. Table 2.2 summarizes exchequer issues by the National
Treasury in the first six months of FY 2023/24.

Figure 2.3 illustrates the proportion of exchequer issues by Vote First Six months of FY 2023/24.
The MDAs are classified into ten sectors according to the Classification of Functions of Government (COFOG),
which is designed to support fiscal analysis by breaking down Government Fiscal Statistics for comparability across
sectors. The ten sectors are (i) Agriculture, Rural and Urban Development, (ii) Education (iii) Energy, Infrastructure,
and Information Communications Technology, (iv) Environment Protection, Water and Natural Resources (v) Gen-
eral Economic and Commercial Affairs (vi) Governance, Justice, Law, and Order (vii) Health (viii) National Security

In the first six months of FY 2023/24, exchequer issues to MDAs amounted to Kshs.631.39 billion, representing 34.7
per cent of their annual net estimates compared to 41.9 per cent (Kshs.672.32 billion), recorded in a similar period
FY 2022/23. Table 2.3 summarises the sector’s exchequer issues First Six months of FY 2023/24.

per cent of the revised net estimates, compared to 28.7 per cent (Kshs.121.75 billion) in a similar period FY 2022/23.
Analysis of exchequer issues towards development expenditure by sector shows that the GECA Sector received the
highest proportion of exchequer issues to revised net estimates at 38.1 per cent while the EPW&NR Sector received
the lowest at 3.9 per cent. Table 2.5 shows exchequer issues towards development expenditure to MDAs under each

In FY 2023/24, the initial gross ministerial recurrent budget was Kshs.1.68 trillion. This was revised to Kshs.1.36
trillion in Supplementary Budget I, representing 68.2 per cent of the ministerial expenditure allocation of Kshs.2.46
trillion, compared to Kshs.1.4 trillion allocated in FY 2022/23. Further analysis shows that recurrent ministerial ex-
penditure allocation was 37 per cent of the gross national budget of Kshs.4.54 trillion. Table 2.6 shows the sectorial
Total exchequer issues towards recurrent ministerial expenditure in the period under review amounted to Kshs.561
billion, representing 41.2 per cent of the net estimates, compared to 46.7 per cent (Kshs.550.57 billion) recorded in a
similar period FY 2022/23. A review of the MDAs’ recurrent exchequer issues in the period under review shows that

Kshs.1.57 trillion allocated in FY 2022/23. The growth of 32.5 per cent (Kshs.51 billion) towards CFS in FY 2023/24
in comparison to FY 2022/23 is attributable to increased debt payment obligations. Table 2.8 shows the exchequer
issues to CFS in the first six months of FY 2022/23.
Pensions and Gratuities 189.09 189.09 59.01 31.2 171.83 47.57 27.7
In the first six months of FY 2023/24, exchequer issues to CFS were Kshs.667.95 billion, representing 32.1 per cent
of the annual net estimates, compared to 35.4 per cent (Kshs.555.81 billion), issued in a similar period FY 2022/23.
The increase is attributed to increased debt payment obligations, which was adversely affected by depreciation of the
Kenyan shilling against major foreign currencies for foreign debt. Annex 1 shows the trend in exchange rate move-
ment for July to December 2023, specified on page 126
NATIONAL GOVERNMENT BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION REVIEW REPORT

2.4.4 Exchequer Approvals and Issues Under Article 223 of the Constitution of Kenya
Article 223 of the Constitution allows the MDAs to access additional funding during the budget implementation
process if the amount appropriated for any purpose under the Appropriation Act is insufficient or a need has arisen
for expenditure for a purpose for which no amount has been claimed by that Act or money has been withdrawn from
the Contingencies Fund.
In the first six months of FY 2023/2024, the Controller of Budget authorised a total of Kshs.3.29 billion under Article
223 of the Constitution. This amount was 0.07 per cent of the gross budget estimates and, therefore, within the 10
per cent ceiling set out in Article 223 of the Constitution. Table 2.9 shows exchequer issues under Article 223 of the
Constitution of Kenya in the reporting period.

The cumulative exchequer issues under Article 223 amounted to Kshs.3.29 billion, representing 0.2 per cent of the
MDAs’ revised net estimates budget of Kshs.1.82 trillion appropriated by Parliament.
In line with Article 223 (2) of the Constitution, the consent of Parliament should be obtained or sought within two
months after the first withdrawal of the money. If Parliament is not sitting during the time contemplated in clause
(2) or is sitting but adjourns before the approval has been sought, the approval should be sought within two weeks
after its next sitting.
The Equalisation Fund is established under Article 204 (1) of the Constitution of Kenya, which requires that half a
per cent (0.5 per cent) of all the revenue collected by the National government each year, calculated based on the
most recent audited revenue received, as approved by the National Assembly, to be paid into the Fund. Article 204(2)
of the Constitution provides that the National Government shall use the Equalisation Fund only to provide essential
services, including Water, Roads, Health Facilities, and Electricity to marginalised areas to the extent necessary to
bring the quality of those services in those areas to the level generally enjoyed by the rest of the nation, so far as is
possible.
In the period under review, the Controller of Budget authorized Kshs.95.27 million from the Equalisation Fund
comprising Kshs.24.27 million for development expenditure for projects implemented by the State Department of
Water and Sanitation, and Kshs.71 million related to the Equalisation Fund Secretariat expenses. Table 2.10 below
shows the approval for withdrawals from the Equalisation Fund in FY 2022/23.
The Judiciary Fund is established under Article 173 of the Constitution. In the first six months of FY 2023/2024,
the Controller of Budget authorized the withdrawal of Kshs.9.84 billion from the Judiciary Fund to the Judiciary
Operational Accounts comprising Kshs.271.56 million for development activities and Kshs.9.57 billion for recurrent
activities, representing 18,7 per cent and 46.8 per cent of the net Development and recurrent estimates respectively.
Table 2.11 shows the approval for withdrawal from the Judiciary Fund in the first six months of FY 2023/24.
3.1 Introduction
This chapter presents the budget implementation summary for the National Government in the first six months of
FY 2023/24. The summary is disaggregated by development and recurrent expenditure. Consolidated Fund Services
is classified as recurrent expenditure and provides information on Public debt, Pensions, and Gratuities, as well as
Salaries and Allowances to Constitutional Office holders and Miscellaneous services. The chapter further disaggre-
gates expenditure by MDAs under major economic items for the development and recurrent votes, respectively.
The National government original gross budget for FY 2023/24 amounted to Kshs.4.34 trillion, revised to Kshs.4.54

in Supplementary Budget I (see Annex II referenced on page 170) and Kshs.1.96 trillion for CFS revised to Kshs.2.08
trillion in Supplementary Budget I. This recorded growth compared to Kshs.715.35 billion for ministerial develop-
ment expenditure, Kshs.1.40 trillion for ministerial recurrent expenditure, and Kshs.1.57 trillion for CFS allocated
in FY 2022/23.

The original allocation for public debt servicing in FY 2023/24 amounted to Kshs.1.75 trillion. This amount was
revised to Kshs.1.87 trillion in Supplementary Budget I, representing 89.8 per cent of the CFS budget, an increase
of 34.7 per cent compared to Kshs.1.39 trillion allocated in FY 2022/23 (as at 31st December 2022). The increase is
attributed to Kshs.336.26 billion external public debt that will be maturing within the financial year, as indicated in
Table 3.4.
The revised Public debt allocation for FY 2023/24 of Kshs.1.87 trillion, comprised of Kshs.918.84 billion for interest

NATIONAL GOVERNMENT BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION REVIEW REPORT
FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF FY 2023/24 23
Total expenditure on public debt in the first six months of FY 2023/24 was Kshs.597.56 billion, representing 32 per
cent of the revised annual estimates, compared to Kshs.526.02 billion (37.8 per cent) recorded in a similar period FY
2022/23. The expenditure comprised Kshs.234.86 billion towards principal redemption, Kshs.355.18 billion towards
interest payments, Kshs.6.69 billion as other charges and Kshs.833.85 million as commitment fees.
External debt servicing amounted to Kshs.238.08 billion, consisting of Kshs.133.19 billion for redemption, Kshs.97.36
billion for interest payment, Kshs.6.69 billion as other charges and Kshs.833.85 million as commitment fees. External
debt was affected by the negative effects of a weak shilling as indicated on Annex XII. The total domestic debt pay-
ment was Kshs.359.48 billion, comprising of Kshs.101.67 billion and Kshs.257.81 billion for redemption and interest
payments, respectively.
The overdraft facility is a temporary source of funds primarily used to finance the shortfall in payment of domestic
debt instruments such as matured Treasury Bills and bonds. The government overdraft is managed by the Central
Bank of Kenya (CBK), and it is restricted to a maximum of 5 per cent of the most recently audited revenues. Accord-
ing to Section 15 (3) of the PFM Act, it must be paid off by the end of the financial year.
For the financial year 2023/24, the overdraft limit is set at Kshs.97.05 billion and is charged at the prevailing CBK
rate on the amount outstanding at the end of each month. During the first six months of FY 2023/24, the CBK rate
was 10.5 per cent.
During the first six months of FY 2023/24, the total charge on the overdraft facility amounted to Kshs.4.21 billion,
which is an increase of 105.8 per cent compared to the overdraft facility charges of Kshs.2.04 billion during a simi-
lar period in FY 2022/23. This increase is due to the gradual change in the CBK rate from 8.75 per cent to 10.5 per
cent from 1st July to 30th November and 12.5 per cent in December 2023 respectively. Further, the overdraft limit
increased from Kshs.80.05 billion in FY 2022/23 to Kshs.97.05 billion in FY 2023/24. This was after the revision of
the Government advances facility as per Section 46(3) of the Central Bank of Kenya Act 2015 CAP 491, which is 5
per cent of Kshs.1.94 trillion audited gross ordinary revenue as of 30th June 2023, excluding domestic borrowing,
external loans, and external grants. Table 3.5 shows the charges on overdraft facility by month in the first six months
of FY 2023/24.

When undertaking her oversight role, the Controller of Budget observed the absorption of SAM, National Gender
and Equality Commission budget performance stood at 121.9 per cent against its annual allocation. This is attributed
to underbudgeting, and the Controller of Budget recommends the regularisation in the Supplementary Budget II.
Additionally, the Controller of Budget noticed that the average SAM budget performance in the first six months was
34.1 per cent, with several SAM categories having less than 50 per cent budget performance as illustrated in Table
3.6. Therefore, the Controller of Budget recommends that the National Treasury address the factors that affect SAM
budget performance or rationalise the SAM budget allocations during the remaining period of FY 2023/24.
As of 31st December 2023, the guaranteed debt stock stood at Kshs.183.08 billion compared to Kshs.170.23 billion as
of 30th June 2023 with the increase attributed to the depreciation of the Kenya Shilling against major foreign curren-
cies. Table 3.7 shows the list of guaranteed loans as of 31st December 2023.

In FY 2023/24, the allocation towards payment for guaranteed debt was Kshs.17.19 billion revised to Kshs.18.92
billion in Supplementary Budget I. The total amount paid on guaranteed loans during the first six months of FY
2023/24 amounted to Kshs.6.85 billion, which was payment for Kenya Airways Guarantee with Kshs.5.46 billion
being redemption of loan and Kshs.1.39 billion being interest payment.
The allocation for Pensions and Gratuity for the FY 2023/24 amounted to Kshs.189.09 billion, a 10 per cent increase
from the previous financial year’s allocation of Kshs.171.83 billion. This allocation is in four categories: Ordinary
Pensions of Kshs.82.93 billion, Commuted Pensions and Gratuities of Kshs.77.56 billion, Other Pension Schemes of
Kshs.134.1 million, and the Public Service Superannuation Scheme (PSSS) at Kshs.28.46 billion.
The increase in the Pensions and Gratuity Budget for FY 2023/24 is mainly attributed to the additional allocation
towards ordinary pension by Kshs.13.38 billion (19.2 per cent) and the Public Service Superannuation Scheme by
Kshs.2.59 billion (10 per cent). This increase brings the total FY 2023/24 allocation towards ordinary pensions to
Kshs.82.93 billion and the Public Service Superannuation Scheme to Kshs.28.46 billion.
Total payments towards Pensions and Gratuities in the first six months of FY 2023/24 amounted to Kshs.82.30 bil-
lion, representing 43.5 per cent of the gross estimates, compared to Kshs.63.18 billion (36.8 per cent) recorded in
FY 2022/23. Table 3.8 shows the performance for various pension categories in the first six months of FY 2023/24.
Notably, the budget implementation of Pensions and Gratuities has been impacted by the downtime of the Pension
Information System. Additionally, there has been underfunding from the Exchequer, as evidenced by the release of
Kshs.59.01 billion compared to the reported expenditure of Kshs.82.3 billion. Furthermore, the Government of Ken-
ya’s contribution (as the employer) remitted to the PSSS had a six-month contribution arrears as the Kshs.4.59 billion
remitted to PSSS was payment for May and June 2023. Figure 3.6 shows the Pensions and gratuities performance
trend from 31st December 2019 to 31st December 2023.
The Controller of Budget recommends timely funding of Pension and Gratuities Votes and clearance of arrears on
Government contribution remittances to PSSS.

4.1 Introduction
MDAs are classified into ten sectors according to the Classification of Functions of Government, which is designed
to support fiscal analysis by breaking down Government Fiscal Statistics for comparability. This chapter presents the
performance of MDAs by Sector in the first six months of FY 2023/24. It provides budget allocations per Sector de-
tailing specific MDAs’ exchequer issues, expenditure, and absorption on the budget (See Annex VII to XI referenced
from page 161 to page 170. The chapter also presents the performance of MDAs’ programmes and sub-programmes
and spending on development projects in the first six months of FY 2023/24.
Sector performance is presented in alphabetical order as follows: (i) Agriculture, Rural and Urban Development
(ARUD), (ii) Education, (iii) Energy, Infrastructure and Information Communications Technology (EI & ICT), (iv)
Environment Protection, Water and Natural Resources (EWNR) (v) General Economic and Commercial Affairs

tration and International Relations (PAIR) (x) Social Protection, Culture and Recreation (SPCR) Sectors.
4.2.1 Introduction
Agriculture is a devolved function under the fourth schedule of the Constitution of Kenya. It is a critical sector in the
economic pillar of the Kenya Vision 2030.
The ARUD Sector comprises five sub-sectors, namely: The State Department for Lands and Physical Planning; the
State Department for Livestock Development; the State Department for the Blue Economy and Fisheries; the State
Department for Crop Development/Agriculture Research and the National Land Commission (NLC) together with
affiliated Semi-Autonomous Government Agencies and Training Institutions.
During the MTEF period 2023/24-2025/26, the Sector has planned to implement programmes to facilitate food and
nutrition security, agro-processing, employment creation, and utilisation of the blue economy. The Sector aims to
attain national food and nutrition security, sustainable fisheries, and land management and utilisation of the blue
economy.
The budget allocated to the ARUD sector for the financial year 2023/24 was Kshs.87.94 billion, which was later
revised to Kshs.98.09 billion in Supplementary Budget I, compared to the Kshs.94.2 billion allocated in the FY
2022/23. This amount represents 2.2 per cent of the revised gross national budget of Kshs.4.54 trillion and 4.0 per
cent of the MDAs’ budget of Kshs.2.64 trillion. The allocation included Kshs.65.58 billion (66.9 per cent) for devel-
opment activities and Kshs.32.51 billion (33.1 per cent) for recurrent expenditure. The State Department for Crop
Development/Agriculture Research received the highest budgetary allocation of Kshs.60.41 billion (61.6 per cent of
the Sector’s budget), while the National Land Commission had the lowest budgetary allocation of Kshs.1.60 billion
(1.6 per cent of the ARUD Sector allocation).
The high allocation to the State Department for Crop Development/Agriculture Research is due to its vital role
in agricultural policy and research management, National food policy, strategic food reserves, crop development,
phytosanitary services, international standards compliance, agricultural farmers’ training and agricultural land re-
sources inventory and management. Figure 4.1 shows the trend of budgetary allocation for the ARUD sector for the
period FY 2019/20 to FY 2023/24.

Sector’s net estimates. This amount comprised Kshs.15.69 billion for development expenditure, representing 27.4
per cent of development net estimates, and Kshs.8.63 billion for recurrent activities, representing 39.7 per cent of
recurrent net estimates. Table 4.1 shows the ARUD sector analysis of exchequer issues and expenditures first six

proportion of development exchequer issues to development net estimates for both development and recurrent
expenditure at 34.6 per cent and 47.1 per cent respectively. The State Department for Livestock received the lowest
proportion of development exchequer issue to net estimate at 15.4 per cent while State Department for Crop Devel-
opment/Agriculture Research received the lowest for recurrent budget at 34.4 per cent. National Land Commission
did not receive development exchequer issues. Figure 4.2 shows the exchequer issues in ARUD Sector in the first six
months of FY 2023/24.
The total expenditure for the ARUD Sector amounted to Kshs.33.05 billion, representing 33.7 per cent of the revised
gross estimates, compared to Kshs.35.96 billion (52.1 per cent) recorded in a similar period FY 2022/23. This amount
comprised Kshs.21.78 billion for the development budget representing an absorption rate of 33.2 per cent, compared
to 50.0 per cent recorded in FY 2022/23, and Kshs.11.27 billion for recurrent expenditure representing 34.7 per cent
of the recurrent gross estimates, compared to 55.5 per cent recorded in a similar FY 2022/23. The sector recorded a
decline compared to a similar period in FY 2022/23.
The State Department for Lands and Physical Planning recorded the highest absorption of the development budget
at 45.8 per cent, while the National Land Commission recorded the lowest at 6.2 per cent. This is attributed to effec-
tive land administration and management of land resources. The State Department for Lands and Physical Planning
recorded the highest recurrent expenditure to gross estimates at 48.0 per cent, while the State Department for Live-
stock recorded the lowest at 24.2 per cent.
The allocation to the ARUD sector was to fund twelve (12) programmes. Table 4.2 summarises the budget execution

The State Department for Blue Economy and Fisheries is responsible for the facilitation of sustainable management and
development of fisheries resources, aquaculture and blue economy for accelerated socio-economic development. Under
fisheries policy, strategy and capacity building sub-programme,50 per cent of Fish Levy Trust Fund regulations (FLTF)
were operationalized, drafted human resource operation manual, fish levy order, and funds disbursement guidelines. In
addition, under the spatial planning and coastal zone management sub-programme,60 per cent of marine spatial plans
were developed under the directorate of the blue economy development delivery unit.
The State Department for Lands and Physical Planning registered and issued 185,366 title deeds against an annual
target of 405,000 under the development planning and land administration sub-programme. Further, 2,070 landless/
squatter households were settled, in Transzoia (1684), Taita Taveta- matter village phase 1 ( 386) against the annual
target of 12,000. In addition,11,158 land parcels were geo-referenced to produce cadastre maps and plans. The pre-
liminary activities for the preparation of the physical and land use development plan for Olkalou town in Nyandarua
County and Holili border town in Taita Taveta County were completed, which was undertaken through land use
sub-programme
Through the land Administration and Management Sub programme, the National Land Commission prepared 44 letters
of allotment, and processed 2 consents on land leasing on public institutional lands and state agencies against the target
of 1. The Commission also published public notices on regularization and approved allocation of 5 plots surpassing their
annual target of 4 and the commission monitored 4 county spatial plans against the annual target of 7.
Most of the development projects are multi-year in nature and implemented over some time. In the first six months
of FY 2023/24, the ARUD Sector incurred a development expenditure of Kshs.21.78 billion, representing an absorp-
tion rate of 33.2 per cent. Table 4.3 summarises some of the projects with the highest expenditure in the reporting

4.3.1 Introduction
The Education Sector comprises four MDAs, which include the State Department for Vocational and Technical
Training, the State Department for Higher Education and Research, the State Department for Basic Education and
the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), together with their affiliated Agencies and Institutions.
The Sector envisions attaining “Quality and inclusive education, training and research for sustainable development”
in Kenya. The Sector’s strategic objectives include: enhancing access, equity, quality and relevance in education,
training and research; establishing, maintaining and managing professional teaching and learning services for all
early learning centres, primary, secondary and tertiary institutions; enhancing development capacities for Science
Technology and Innovations; enhance mechanisms for dissemination and commercialisation of research findings;
improve data quality and sharing in education, training, research and labour market; promote vibrant industry - in-
stitutional linkages in the area of skilling for employability; and integrate ICT in Education, Training and Research
for management, teaching and learning at all levels.
Worth noting is that the ongoing education transitions from the 8-4-4 to the 2-6-6-3 system will require substan-
tial investment in infrastructure, equipment, and human capital in FY 2023/24 and the medium term 2023/24 to
2025/26.
The budgetary allocation to Education in FY 2023/24 amounted to Kshs.628.58 billion, which was later revised to
Kshs.689.61 billion in Supplementary Budget I, compared to the Kshs.568.22 billion allocated in FY 2022/23. This
amount represents 15.2 per cent of the revised gross national budget of Kshs.4.54 trillion and 28.0 per cent of the
MDAs’ budget of Kshs.2.64 trillion. The allocation included Kshs.33.95 billion (4.9 per cent) for development activ-
ities and Kshs.655.66 billion (95.1 per cent) for recurrent expenditure. Teachers Service Commission received the
highest budgetary allocation of Kshs.343.40 billion (49.8 per cent of the Sector’s budget), while the State Department
for Vocational and Technical Training had the lowest budgetary allocation of Kshs.24.83 billion (4.8 per cent of the
Education Sector allocation).
The high allocation to the Teachers Service Commission is attributed to its role in teacher management for basic
education. Figure 4.3 shows the budgetary allocation trends of the Education sector for the period FY 2019/20 to FY
2023/24.
The total exchequer issues to the Education sector amounted to Kshs.232.59 billion, representing 37.8 per cent of the
Sector’s revised net estimates. This amount comprised Kshs.10.95 billion for development expenditure, representing
38.1 per cent of development revised net estimates, and Kshs.221.64 billion for recurrent activities, representing
37.8 per cent of recurrent net estimates. Table 4.4. shows the Education sector analysis of exchequer issues and ex-
penditures for the first six months of FY 2023/24.

4.4.1 Introduction
This Sector consists of ten MDAs: The State Department for Roads; Transport; Shipping and Maritime Affairs;
Housing and Urban Development; Public Works; Information Communications Technology and Digital Economy;
Broadcasting and Telecommunications; Energy; and Petroleum.
The EI&ICT sector aims to provide sustainable infrastructure development, a vibrant shipping and maritime indus-
try, universal access to Information Communications Technology (ICT), Transport and built environment services,
and accessible, affordable, quality and competitive energy and petroleum products.
The EI&ICT Sector plays a vital role as an enabler of the country’s socio-economic development. It is a crucial sector
in realising Vision 2030 and the BETA Agenda.
The budgetary allocation to the EI&ICT sector in FY 2023/24 was Kshs.532.36 billion, revised to Kshs.528.15 bil-
lion in Supplementary Budget I, compared to the Kshs.344.13 billion allocated in the previous financial year. This
amount represents 11.6 percent of the revised gross national budget of Kshs.4.54 trillion and 21.4 percent of the
MDAs’ budget of Kshs.2.46 trillion. The allocation comprised of Kshs.349.41 billion (66.2 percent) for development
activities and Kshs.178.74 billion (33.8 percent) for recurrent expenditure. The State Department for Roads received
the highest budgetary allocation of Kshs.232.69 billion (44.1 percent of the Sector’s budget), while the State Depart-
ment for Shipping and Maritime had the lowest budgetary allocation of Kshs.3.26 billion (0.6 percent of the EI &
ICT Sector allocation).

The State Department for Information Communication Technology and Digital Economy received the highest pro-
portion of development exchequer issues to development net estimates at 36.0 per cent in the period under review.
The State Department for Broadcasting and Telecommunication received the lowest at 1.4 per cent. The State De-
partment for Transport recorded the highest proportion of recurrent exchequer issues to recurrent net estimates of
59.2 per cent compared to the State Department for shipping and marine affairs, which recorded the lowest ratio of
20.1 per cent. Figure 4.6 shows the EI & ICT sector’s exchequer issues in the first six months of FY 2022/23.
The total expenditure for the EI&ICT Sector amounted to Kshs.128.44 billion, representing 24.3 per cent of the re-
vised gross estimates, compared to Kshs.155.33 billion (38.1 per cent) recorded in similar period, FY 2022/23. This
amount comprised Kshs.69.52 billion for the development budget representing an absorption rate of 38.9 per cent,
compared to 21.7 per cent recorded in a similar period 2022/23, and Kshs.58.92 billion for recurrent expenditure
representing 16.9 per cent of the recurrent gross estimates, compared to 72.7 per cent recorded in a similar period
FY 2022/23.
The State Department for Broadcasting Telecommunication recorded the highest absorption of development budget
at 67.8 per cent, while the State Department of Shipping and Maritime Affairs recorded the lowest at 0.8 per cent.
This is attributed to formulation, review and implementation of appropriate broadcasting and telecommunication
policies, legal and institutional frameworks that improve the efficiency of public service delivery.
The State Department for petroleum recorded the highest recurrent expenditure to gross estimates at 51.4 per cent,
while the State Department for transport recorded the lowest at 10.4 per cent and is attributed to inadequate funding
/delay in exchequer release.
The EI & ICT sector budgetary allocation was to fund twenty-five programmes. Table 4.8 shows budget execution
by programmes.

hotspots and discharges upstream of Thwake dam, Kiambu, Nairobi and Middle Athi recorded 100 per cent against
100 per cent of the annual target.
The State Department for irrigation under Irrigation and Drainage sub-programme, 4,300 acres rehabilitated against
a target of 4,276 acres at the Bura Irrigation Scheme. This was occasioned by acreage opened up in the commercial
farm and by the outgrowers. In addition, acreage under irrigation at Thiba Dam and irrigation area was 26,310 acres
against targeted 35,000 and variance to be covered in the remaining period of the year.
Wildlife Security, Conservation and Management under the State Department for Wildlife, 4 water pans were con-
structed in Tsavo Conservation Area through collaborations with partners against a target of 2. The department also
recorded 100 per cent response rate to clinical interventions.
The State Department for Mining, under the directorates of mines sub-programme operationalized 19 Online Trans-
actional Mining Cadastre Portals against the annual target of two.
Most of the development projects are multi-year in nature and implemented over time. In the first six months of FY
2023/24, the EWPNR Sector incurred a development expenditure of Kshs.24.16 billion, representing an absorption
rate of 26.6 per cent. Table 4.12 summarises the development of some of the projects with the highest expenditure in

4.6.1 Introduction
The General Economic and Commercial Affairs (GECA) sector consists of eight MDAs, namely the State Depart-
ments for Trade; ASALs and Regional Development; Cooperatives; Industry; Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises
Development; Investment Promotion; East African Community; and Tourism together with their affiliated Agencies
and Institutions.
The main objectives of the Sector over the MTEF period are to transform the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise
(MSMEs), promote and sustain tourism, promote industrial development investments promotion, enhance trade
The budgetary allocation to the GECA sector in FY 2023/24 amounted to Kshs.61.42 billion revised to Kshs.72.4
billion in Supplementary Budget I, compared to the Kshs.29.08 billion allocated in FY 2022/23. This amount rep-
resents 1.6 per cent of the revised gross national budget of Kshs.4.54 trillion and 2.9 per cent of the ministerial
budget of Kshs.2.46 trillion. The allocation includes Kshs.32.87 billion (45.4 per cent) for development activities
and Kshs.39.58 billion (54.6 per cent) for recurrent expenditure. The State Department for the ASALs and Regional
Development received the highest budgetary allocation of Kshs.24.06 billion (33.2 per cent of the Sector’s budget),
while the State Department for East African Community had the lowest budgetary allocation of Kshs.927.71 million
(1.3 per cent of the Sector’s allocation).
The high allocation to the State Department for the ASALs and Regional Development is due to the high allocation
for Accelerated ASAL Development amounting to Kshs.16.08 billion, Figure 4.9 shows the budgetary allocation
trend for the GECA sector for the period FY 2019/20 to FY 2023/24.
The total exchequer issues to the GECA sector amounted to Kshs.14.21 billion, representing 25.1 per cent of the Sec-
tor’s revised net estimates. This amount comprised Kshs.3.91 billion for development expenditure, representing 12.1
per cent of development revised net estimates, and Kshs.10.30 billion for recurrent activities, representing 42.6 per
cent of recurrent revised net estimates. Table 4.13 analyses exchequer issues and expenditures to the GECA sector in
the first six months of FY 2023/24.

Analysis of Programme and sub-programmes analysis shows that Marketing, Value Addition and Research under
State Department for Cooperatives had the highest absorption of 97.1 per cent while Industrial Research, Develop-
ment and Innovation under State Department for Industry had the lowest absorption of 0.4 per cent.
The State Department for Tourism set up the Tourism, Promotion and Marketing programme to improve interna-
tional arrivals, Tourism Receipts, Domestic Bed Nights and Brand Awareness. In each sector, they had targets of
which they achieved 77, 77, 86, and 90 per cent respectively. Under Tourism, Product Development and Diversifica-
tion, the Tourism Infrastructure Development sub-programme achieved all the targets they set up for the Tourism
Fund, in terms of grants and levies collected.
The State Department for East African Community set up the East African Affairs and Regional Integration to im-
prove the Directorate of Economic Affairs. They aimed at having preferential treatment for Kenyan Products and
Merchandise in the EAC, which was achieved. The programme reduced and stopped 267 Non-Tariff Barriers against
a target of 280 and increased the value of Kenyan exports to the EAC to Kshs.226 billion against a target of Kshs.205
billion. Further, the EAC Regional Standards developed and adopted a cumulative number of 1,165 standards which
were adopted by Kenya.
The State Department for Investment Promotion, under the Investment Development Promotion programme
achieved several targets through the Export Processing Zones (EPZ) delivery unit. For example, they set up 11 newly
gazetted EPZ zones against their target of 11 and increased the value of exports to Kshs.28.29 million against a target
of Kshs.29 million and increased the value of local purchases to Kshs.3.79 million against a target of Kshs.4.6 million.
As a result, they created 1783 jobs against their target of 2500 during harsh economic times.
The State Department for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development managed to create 7500 jobs against
their target of 7500 through the Kenya Youth Employment Opportunities Programme. In addition to this, created
market access to businesses by increasing the number of MSMEs exposed to local markets by 316 and to EAC trade
fair (Nguvu Kazi) to 346 against a target of 350.
Most of the development projects are multi-year in nature and implemented over some time. In the first six months
of FY 2023/24, the GECA Sector incurred a development expenditure of Kshs.6.97 billion, representing an absorp-
tion rate of 21.2 per cent. Table 4.15 summarises some of the development projects with the highest expenditure in
the reporting period in the GECA sector.

4.8.1 Introduction
Health is largely a devolved function under the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution of Kenya. At the national level,
the health sector is responsible for providing and coordinating health policy formulation, ensuring quality service
delivery, and regulating health care. The sector comprises two MDAs, namely: The State Department for Medi-
cal Services and the State Department for Public Health and Professional Standards. The Sector delivers services
The Sector envisions “a healthy, productive and globally competitive nation” achieved through strategic objectives un-
der equity, efficiency, and people-centred principles with a multi-sectoral approach as outlined in the Kenya Health
Policy (2014-2030). The Health Sector implements its strategic objectives through eight budgetary programmes,
four under the State Department for Medical Services and four under the State Department for Public Health and
Professionals.
The budgetary allocation to the Health sector in FY 2023/24 was Kshs.141.19 billion, revised to Kshs.138.85 billion
in Supplementary Budget I, compared to Kshs.122.52 billion allocated in FY 2022/23. This amount represents 3.1 per
cent of the revised gross national budget of Kshs.4.54 trillion and 5.6 per cent of MDAs’ budget of Kshs.2.46 trillion.
The allocations comprised Kshs.50.65 billion (36.5 per cent) for development activities and Kshs.88.19 billion (63.5
per cent) for recurrent expenditure. Figure 4.13 shows the budgetary allocation for the Health Sector for FY 2019/20
to FY 2023/24.
Total exchequer issues to the Health sector amounted to Kshs.26.27 billion, representing 27 per cent of the sector’s
revised net estimates, comprised of Kshs.1.49 billion for development expenditure, representing 3.9 per cent of de-
velopment revised net estimates and Kshs.24.79 billion for recurrent spending representing 41.6 per cent of recur-
rent revised net estimates. Table 4.19 shows the Health Sector analysis of exchequer issues and expenditures in the
first six months of FY 2023/24.

The state Department instituted several interventions in response to the Covid-19 pandemic Including vaccination,
enhanced testing, acquisition of more critical care facilities and oxygen supply. At the end of the review period,
31.9% of the adult population had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. To strengthen cancer surveillance, the
number of cancer centres for notifying cases increased from 12 county-based registries in FY 2020/21 to 19 coun-
ty-based registries in FY 2021/22 with over 40,000 patients entering the National Cancer Registry. To ensure the
delivery of quality cancer care, 58 cancer centers were designated across public, private, and faith-based facilities.
Mwai Kibaki Hospital formerly KNH Othaya was handed over to KNH management and was fully operationalized.
Patient numbers increased from 133,216 in the FY 2021/22 to 285,901 in the FY 2022/23. New services introduced
increased from 6 in the FY 2021/22 to 13 in the FY 2022/23. The hospital further renovated the Critical Care Unit
MTRH invested approximately Kshs.1.39 billion towards infrastructure development and equipping the Chandaria
Cancer and Chronic Diseases Centre (CCCDC), which is a One-Stop-Shop Point of Care for Cancer and other
Chronic Diseases. It also invested in 2,000 litres per minute (LPM) Oxygen oxygen-generating plant to ensure
consistent availability of oxygen to patients at the Points of Care. This is the biggest Hospital Based Oxygen Gen-
erating Plant in Eastern and Central Africa. In service delivery, 1,426,746 laboratory tests were done, I radiology
examinations, 25,688 deliveries were conducted, 18 Kidney Transplants and 2,502 haemodialysis for children and
100 Open Heart Surgeries were conducted amongst other services offered at the facility. To strengthen the Human
Resource for Health Capacity in Kenya, 132 Research Projects were undertaken, and 3,424 Internship/Attachment
Opportunities were provided. KUTRRH established the Integrated Molecular Imaging Center (IMIC) Commis-
sioned. The center provides PET scans, before which the services were not readily available in the country. Since its
establishment, the Center has performed 4,824 successful FDG PET/CT scans and 592 PSMAs. ‘The hospital also
established a center of excellence in cancer care and has managed to install a Brachytherapy machine for the treat-
ment of cancer patients in addition, LINAC Machine and the Cyber Knife S7. This has enabled 1246 Brachytherapy
sessions to be carried out in the period under review. To ramp up its service delivery, KUTRRH Operationalized the
15-bed Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, commissioned a 20,000-litre liquid oxygen tank, and invested in a state-of-
the-art cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment facility.
Most of the development projects are multi-year in nature and implemented over some time. In the first six months
of FY 2023/24, the Health Sector incurred a development expenditure of Kshs.18.15 billion, representing an absorp-
tion rate of 35.8 per cent. Table 4.21 summarises development projects with the highest expenditure in the reporting
period in the Health sector.

4.10.1 Introduction
The Public Administration and International Relations (PAIR) sector consists of twenty-three MDAs, namely; The
Executive Office of the President, Office of the Deputy President, Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary; State De-
partment for Parliamentary Affairs, State Department for Performance and Delivery Management; State Department
for Cabinet Affairs; State House; State Department for Devolution; State Department of Economic Planning; State
Department for Foreign Affairs; State Department for Diaspora Affairs; The National Treasury; State Department
for Public Service; Parliamentary Service Commission; National Assembly; Parliamentary Joint Services; Senate;
The Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA); Public Service Commission; Salaries and Remuneration Commis-
sion; The Auditor General (OAG); The Controller of Budget (COB); and The Commission on Administrative Justice
(CAJ) together with affiliated SAGAs and entities.
The Sector provides national leadership, oversight, and policy direction towards the realisation of the country’s
development agenda. It promotes prudent public finance management and accountability in the Public Sector, co-
ordinates national and sectoral development planning, oversees an efficient and effective Public Service. It also co-
ordinates Kenya’s foreign policy and diaspora affairs, wage bill management, development of a sound legislative and
regulatory framework, and enforces administrative justice and the right to information.
The Sector has prioritised programmes and projects aligned with the Post-COVID-19 Economic Recovery Stimulus
Programme (PC-ERS); the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda, and the Fourth Medium Term Plan of
Kenya Vision 2030.Priority was also accorded to ongoing interventions supporting the Big Four” agenda and the
newly established institutions.
The budgetary allocation to the PAIR sector in FY 2023/24 amounted to Kshs.310.19 billion, which was later revised
to Kshs.299.33 billion in Supplementary Budget I, compared to the Kshs.345.14 billion allocated in the previous
financial year of 2022/23. This amount represents 6.6 percent of the revised gross national budget of Kshs.4.54 tril-
lion and 12.1 percent of the MDAs’ budget of Kshs.2.46 trillion. The allocation included Kshs.116.50 billion (38.9
percent) for development activities and Kshs.182.82 billion (61.1 percent) for recurrent expenditure. The State De-
partment for national treasury received the highest budgetary allocation of Kshs.111.26 billion (37.2 percent of the
Sector’s budget), while the State Department for performance and delivery management had the lowest budgetary
allocation of Kshs.355.17 million (0.1 percent of the PAIR Sector allocation).
The high allocation to the State Department for national treasury is due to increasing reliability, stability and sound
financial sector and ensuring macroeconomic environment. Figure 4.17 shows the budgetary allocation trend for the
PAIR Sector for FY 2019/20 to FY 2023/24.
The total exchequer issues to the PAIR sector amounted to Kshs.79.32 billion, representing 29.2 per cent of the Sec-
tor’s revised net estimates. This amount comprised Kshs.8.45 billion for development expenditure, representing 8.4
per cent of development revised net estimates, and Kshs.70.86 billion for recurrent activities, representing 41.6 per
cent of recurrent revised net estimates. Table 4.24 analyses exchequer issues and expenditure in the first six months
of FY 2023/24 for the PAIR Sector.

In the first six months of FY 2023/24, the State Department for State House received the highest proportion of devel-
opment exchequer issues to development net estimates at 56.6 per cent, while the State Department for foreign affairs
received the lowest at 0.1 per cent. The State Department for Performance and Delivery Management recorded the
highest proportion of recurrent exchequer issues to recurrent net estimates of 83.9 per cent. The State Department for
Diaspora Affairs recorded the lowest ratio of 22.3 per cent. Figure 4.18 shows the PAIR sector’s exchequer issues in
the first six months of FY 2023/24.
The State Department for State House recorded the highest absorption of development budget at 58.4 per cent, while
the State Department for Foreign Affairs recorded the lowest at 2.0 per cent. This is attributed to enhanced operation
and maintenance expenses, refurbishment of buildings and other civil works. The State Department for Devolution
recorded the highest recurrent expenditure to gross estimates at 62.3 per cent, while the State Department for Dias-
pora Affairs recorded the lowest at 26.2 per cent and is attributed to low funding/budget cuts in state department of
cabinet affairs.

4.11.2 Budget Performance for the SPCR Sector
The budgetary allocation to the SPCR sector in FY 2023/24 amounts to Kshs.70.64 billion revised to Kshs.72.85
billion in Supplementary Budget I, compared to the Kshs.83.57 billion allocated in the previous financial year of
2022/23. This amount represents 1.6 per cent of the revised gross national budget of Kshs.4.54 trillion and 3.0 per
cent of the MDAs’ budget of Kshs.2.46 trillion. The allocation comprises of Kshs.25.03 billion (34.4 per cent) for
development activities and Kshs.47.82 billion (65.6 per cent) for recurrent expenditure. The State Department for
Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs received the highest budgetary allocation of Kshs.38.23 billion (52.5 per
cent of the Sector’s budget), while the State Department for Culture and Heritage had the lowest budgetary allocation
of Kshs.2.82 billion (4.2 per cent of the SPCR Sector allocation).
The high allocation to the State Department for Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs is attributed to the
high budgetary allocation towards social assistance for vulnerable groups through the National Social Safety Net
programme. Figure 4.19 shows the budgetary allocation trend for the SPCR sector for FY 2019/20 to FY 2023/24.
The total exchequer issues to the SPCR sector amounted to Kshs.19.89 billion, representing 37.7 per cent of the Sec-
tor’s revised net estimates. This amount comprised Kshs.1.00 billion for development expenditure, representing 11.6
per cent of development revised net estimates, and Kshs.18.89 billion for recurrent activities, representing 42.8 per
cent of recurrent revised net estimates. Table 4.27 shows the SPCR sector analysis of exchequer issues and expendi-
ture in the first six months of FY 2023/24.

Most of the development projects are multi-year in nature and implemented over some time. In the first six months
of FY 2023/24, the SPCR Sector incurred a development expenditure of Kshs.8.94 billion, representing an absorption
rate of 35.7 per cent. Table 4.29 summarises some of the development projects with the highest expenditure in the
reporting period in the SPCR sector.

This chapter highlights key issues that the COB identified in the first six months of FY 2023/24 and provides recom-
mendations for effective budget implementation.
During the period under review, the National Treasury released a total of Kshs.1.23 trillion to the MDAs for both de-
velopment and recurrent expenditure, Consolidated Fund Services and County Governments representing 37.0 per
cent of the revised annual net estimates. This was below the projected target of 50 per cent of the annual allocations
by the end of the first six months. Ministerial development expenditure received 15.4 per cent, recurrent expendi-
ture received 35.7 per cent (ministerial recurrent 41.2 per cent and Consolidated Fund Services at 32.1 per cent) and
County governments received 37.0 per cent of the shareable equitable revenue.
In the FY 2023/24, the National Treasury projected to raise Kshs.4.28 trillion to finance the budget. However, as of
31st December 2023, receipts into Consolidated Fund were Kshs.1.44 trillion recording 33.7 per cent of the annual
target against the 50 per cent target by the first half. Shortfall in receipts into the Consolidated Fund is responsible
for the delay in release of funds which may hamper the execution of planned activities by MDAs and County gov-
ernments.
The Controller of Budget recommends that the government enhances revenue mobilization to enable the National
Treasury to release funds to MDAs and County Governments on time, based on the work plans and the cash flow
projections to ensure effective implementation of the planned activities.
In the first half of FY 2023/24, the Government rationalized budgetary allocations for FY 2023/24 to reduce the
budget for non-core activities and free resources for the implementation of government-priority activities. While the
budget revision was necessary, it did not fully consider the incurred expenditure on some budget lines. Analysis of
financial reports submitted to the Controller of Budget shows that some expenditures were more than the budgeted
amounts, resulting in overdrawn budget lines. This is attributed to budget cuts during Supplementary Budget I, ap-
proved during the period under review.
To regularise the overdrawn budget lines, the Controller of Budget recommends MDAs to liaise with the Nation-
al Treasury to ensure the overdrawn items are regularised in the subsequent Supplementary Budget. In addition,
MDAS should reallocate funds to budget lines with the likelihood of the planned activities not likely to be delivered
as planned to those that will absorb funds.
As of 31st December 2023, the Public debt stock stood at Kshs.11.14 trillion, comprising of Kshs.6.09 trillion (54.7
per cent) dues to external lenders and Kshs.5.05 trillion (45.3 per cent) dues to domestic lenders. The public debt
stock has increased by 8.4 per cent from Kshs.10.28 trillion as of June 30th, 2023, to Kshs.11.14 trillion as of Decem-
ber 31st, 2023. External debt recorded the highest growth at 11.8 per cent while domestic debt recorded 4.5 per cent.
A large proportion of the growth in external debt is attributed to the depreciation of the Kenya Shilling against major
world currencies since external debt stock is recorded in foreign currencies.
The total exchequer issues to National and County governments amounted to Kshs.1.44 trillion, representing 33.7
per cent of the annual net estimates, compared to Kshs.1.37 trillion (38.6 per cent of the annual estimates) issued in
a similar period FY 2022/23. This was a 5.1 per cent growth (Kshs.70 billion in absolute terms). However, the report
noted a high uptake of the exchequer towards the Consolidated Fund Services Vote at 46.3 per cent (Kshs.667.94
billion) with Salaries, Allowances & Miscellaneous Services taking 34.6 per cent out of Kshs.667.94 billion disbursed
towards CFS. Ministerial development received the lowest at 15.4 per cent (Kshs.70.41 billion), ministerial recurrent
received 35.7 per cent (Kshs.560.99 billion) and County governments received 37.0 per cent (Kshs.142.46 billion).
Total expenditure for the National government was Kshs.1.64 trillion representing an absorption rate of 36.1 per cent,
compared to 39.1 per cent recorded in a similar period FY 2022/23. The ministerial development budget recorded
the lowest absorption at 25.2 per cent (Kshs.197.41 billion) while the recurrent budget recorded an absorption rate
of 44.8 per cent (Kshs.752.92 billion). The low absorption of the development budget is attributed to the delay in
uploading Procurement Plans into IFMIS and the delay in the disbursement of funds by the National Treasury which
is attributed to a shortfall of receipts into the Consolidated Fund.
The Controller of Budget identified key issues that affected effective budget implementation and made recommen-
dations to address them. They included: delay in the release of exchequer to both MDAs and Counties, Overdrawn
budget lines due to budget rationalisation without considering expenditure incurred and high public debt that ex-
ceeded the legal limit.
To address the challenges, the Controller of Budget recommends the timely release of exchequer issues, regulariza-
tion of overdrawn budget lines in the Supplementary Budget II and ensuring compliance with the set public debt
ceiling to curb further growth in public debt.
