KERICHO COUNTY BUDGET FY 2018/2019.
Perhaps the most dramatic and significant global issue today and in which l have always gravitated since the start of this regime has been one of the largest beneficiary in this years allocation budget. Amongst others this are largest pie of this years budget and while in keeping with President uhuru Kenyatta's big four agenda :
1.Water.
2.Universal health care.
3.Education.
4.Social security, empowerment programmes.
5.Agriculture. amongst others.
While motivation and policy looks justified, the implementation should appear clearly thought out whereas it may indeed resuit in unintended and adversarial Consequences. We should have a policy that should advice the timing and Quantum of the prospective service atmosphere. Water and universal health care forms the basic aspects of the human ecosystem and we must ensure a speedy service dispensation in all this.
Averagely, Over 57% of Litein ward do not have access to this basic water and health and we must ensure a conservative and deep insight into this prospects.
In Kenya, we should not be apologetic about tax actions that protects our industries and agricuiture. Indeed we do have a similar ' Buy Kenya Build Kenya ' call which l do not think has been sufficiently articulated or developed into a high level policy to guide coordinated capacity building in the two segments.
Currently, annual budget tax interventions are piece mealed and influenced The kenyans drift to a manufacturing and agriculture state and country is always a brilliant economic drift of all the time.
The canvas of every economic gradient is and has always been the need of enhancing basic service provisions whereas synergiezing an on time appropriate site model on the same.
My own economic thought in this is that the budget has been leverage and its implementations mechanism should be expedited.
