Yatta/Kwa Vonza MCA Mark Nding’o on Thursday joined fellow Members of the Kitui County Assembly in unanimously approving the Kitui County Supplementary Budget II Estimates for the 2025/2026 Financial Year, a move expected to strengthen development implementation and service delivery across the county. The approval was undertaken in line with Section 135 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 and Standing Order No. 214 of the County Assembly, paving the way for adjustment of expenditure to match the revised county resource framework.
While moving the motion before the House, Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee Hon. Zacchaeus Syengo informed Members that the Supplementary Budget II provides for a total expenditure of Kshs. 15.059 billion, representing an increase of Kshs. 313.8 million from the approved Supplementary Budget I allocation of Kshs. 14.745 billion. The increase was attributed to changes in conditional grants under the County Government Additional Allocation Act, medical insurance refunds from Britam, and an upward revision of Own Source Revenue amounting to Kshs. 191.4 million.
During deliberations, Mark Nding’o and other Members praised County Assembly Speaker Hon. Kevin Kinengo Katisya and Governor Dr. Julius Makau Malombe for resolving the impasse that had delayed approval of the supplementary budget. Members emphasized that budgets are important instruments of governance and noted that the approved adjustments would address critical development priorities and improve service delivery for wananchi. The House later approved additional County Assembly sittings to facilitate consideration of the Kitui County Supplementary II Appropriation Bill, 2026.
