A cornerstone of County Governance that often operates behind the scenes, steering the ship of progress with calculated precision, is the Finance and Economic Planning Department. In the intricate dance of government functions, this department plays a pivotal role, holding the key to the financial stability, development, and prosperity of our County.

At the core of what we do at the Finance and Economic Planning Department is the stewardship of our financial resources. We go out of our way to allocate resources judiciously, ensuring that every shilling spent contributes to the well-being of our citizens and the growth of our economy.

Our department is the architect of our socioeconomic strategy. We develop plans that fit in to our National long term policies like the Sectoral and Medium Term Plans, which transcend political cycles, envisioning a future where economic opportunities abound. Through careful analysis and foresight, we anticipate challenges and position our County to sustain the rolling out of key projects and programmes across all sectors of the economy.

We are charged with the meticulous crafting of County Plans, key among them the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP), the Annual Development Plans (ADPs) and Budgets as well as enabling County legislations like the County Finance Bills, County Revenue Administration Bill, County Rating Bill (for property rates), County Trade Licensing Bill among others.

Considering this enormous responsibility, the Finance and Economic Planning Department is not just a custodian of financial transactions and resources; it is the architect of our socioeconomic development destiny. Its role extends beyond numbers; it is about shaping a future where prosperity is shared, opportunities abound, and the economic tapestry of our County is woven with threads of progress.

Crafted to guide our development journey for the next five years, the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2023-2027 is a product of wide stakeholder consultations, and assigns each player a role that they shall play in our collective aspiration to DELIVER AS ONE.
