Guidelines for Promotion, Development and Management of Irrigation in Kenya
Get PDFKenya has an area of approximately 582,646 square kilometres, out of this only 17% falls within medium to high rainfall areas, which are suitable for rain-fed agriculture. The rest is arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs), which have highly variable, erratic and unreliable rainfall for sustainable agricultural production. Generally, rain-fed agricultural production is constrained by impacts of climate change and variability. Hence the need to shift focus from rain-fed to irrigated agriculture. The opportunities for economic growth through irrigation are immense, particularly in realizing food security and job creation. Irrigation is recognized as a key enabler for the transformation and growth of agriculture as envisaged under the Kenya Vision 2030 and the Big Four Agenda to achieve 100% food and nutrition security.
The Constitution of Kenya 2010 provides for the citizens the right to be free from hunger and to have adequate food of acceptable quality. It establishes distinct and interdependent National and county governments with specific, residual, concurrent functions and powers as prescribed under Article 186 and the Fourth Schedule. The two levels of government are to operate through cooperation and consultation. The Irrigation Act, 2019, empowers the Cabinet Secretary responsible for irrigation to develop general principles, guidelines and standards for promoting development, coordination and planning of irrigation. It is in this context that the Ministry has developed these Guidelines for promotion, development and management of irrigation in Kenya, hereby referred to as ‘Guidelines’

Garissa County Programme Based Budget 2025/2026
Get PDFThe Department of Agriculture, Livestock, and Pastoral Development has experienced budget allocation and utilization fluctuations across different financial years. In the 2023/2024 financial year, the department was allocated Ksh. 646.13 million, comprising
128.3 million recurrent and 517.8 million developments. On the utilization, Ksh. 99.30 million for recurrent expenditures and Ksh. 217.80 million for development spending was realized, bringing the total expenditure to Ksh. 317.10 million. The recurrent budget had a strong absorption rate of 77.4%, indicating efficient utilization of funds for operational activities. However, the development budget absorption rate stood at 42.1%, highlighting challenges in project implementation. The underperformance in development spending was primarily due to inadequate coordination between the County Treasury and implementing departments, delayed disbursement of funds, and prolonged procurement processes, which affected the timely execution of development projects. Addressing these bottlenecks is essential to enhancing budget absorption and improving service delivery in the sector.
In the 2024/2025 financial year, the department was allocated Ksh. 624.9 million, representing a 3% reduction from the previous year. Of this, Ksh. 147.5 million was allocated for recurrent expenditure, while Ksh. 477.8 million was designated for development. The decline in allocation was mainly due to reduced funding for key programs, including ASDSP II, FSRP, and ELRP, affecting the department’s ability to implement agricultural development initiatives effectively.
Looking ahead to the 2025/2026 financial year, the department has been allocated Ksh.711.03 million, marking a 13.8% increase from the previous year. This includes Ksh. 190 million for recurrent expenditure (Ksh. 140.1 million for salaries and Ksh. 50.9 million for operations and maintenance) and Ksh. 520 million for development programs.
The increase in budget allocation is attributed to a rise in the equitable share to the county, which has expanded the total county revenue from Ksh. 8.2 billion to Ksh. 10.2 billion
Elgeyo Marakwet County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2025
Get PDFThe 2025 CFSP acts as a strategic guide, ensuring the county's priorities align with the national goals outlined in the 2025 Budget Policy Statement (BPS) for the 2025/26 financial year. Amid a national economic slowdown, rising inflation, and the pressures of national debt repayments, this document thoughtfully navigates the fiscal environment, emphasizing the importance of prudence and flexibility.
Despite a modest increase in county allocations, fiscal constraints remain a challenge. In response, the Elgeyo Marakwet County Government has developed strategies to maximize resource utilization. The restructuring of budget priorities in the 2025 CFSP demonstrates our commitment to advancing county strategic focus areas and BETA objectives. Additionally, efforts will be directed toward improving Own Source Revenue (OSR) management to expand the revenue base and ensure sustainable service delivery. This will be reinforced by leveraging technology to enhance collection efficiency and eliminate revenue leakages.
Acknowledging the importance of fiscal prudence, we are taking proactive steps to ease wage bill pressure on the county's financial resources. In the 2025/26 Fiscal Year, we anticipate a notable decrease, reducing the wage bill to 43.45% of the budget. This decline underscores our commitment to striking a sustainable balance between maintaining an efficient workforce and complying with fiscal guidelines.
The 2025 CFSP is a product of objective reviews, considering departmental capacities, outcomes, public input, and adherence to financial regulations. As the county embarks on this fiscal journey, its focus is on delivering quality services, fostering economic growth, and realizing the vision of transformative leadership through accountable governance
