THE BUDGET CYCLE ~EXPLAINER (Understanding the Budget Cycle empowers citizens to move from passive observers to active, informed participants in national development.) The Budget is not a one day event. It is a structured, year round constitutional process that determines how public resources are raised, allocated and accounted for. Kenya’s Budget Cycle runs from 1st July to 30th June and is anchored in the Constitution of Kenya (2010) and the Public Finance Management Act, CAP 412A. Here is how it works: Planning & Policy Formulation (August – February) Led by the National Treasury, this phase Involves: 30th August of each year- Issuance of the 1st Call Circular - kick starting of the budget process Budget Review and Out Look Paper- Submitted to the Cabinet by 30th September Each Year - containing economic forecast (medium term fiscal framework) as follows: ✔️ Economic growth projections ✔️ Revenue targets ✔️ Sector expenditure ceilings ✔️ Fiscal deficit levels Public Hearings- Input from Public and Stakeholders The Budget Policy Statement (BPS) is submitted to the Parliament of Kenya by 15th February each year. - This defines the fiscal direction for the coming Financial Year. Submission of the Budget Estimates and Related Documents - by 30th April every Year. Key Documents submitted to Parliament: Expenditure Estimates Revenue Estimates Finance bill Any other Documents Related to Budget Legislative Approval (May – June) Parliament debates and approves key Bills, including: Finance Bill Appropriation Bill Division of Revenue Bill County Allocation of Revenue Bill County Government Additional Allocation Bill Budget Statement - Budget Day (usually the second Thursday of June), the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury presents the Budget Statement to Parliament. Budget Approval The Appropriation Act and Presidential Warrant - authorizes government spending. The Finance Act (of that year) gives legal effect to revenue and tax measures. Implementation (July – June) Funds are released to Ministries, Departments and Agencies Development projects are executed Public services are delivered Revenue measures take effect This phase focuses on efficient execution and prudent financial management. Audit & Accountability After the Financial Year ends: Financial statements are prepared The Auditor-General audits public accounts Reports are submitted to Parliament for oversight This ensures transparency, accountability and value for money. 🔁 The Budget Cycle is continuous As one budget is being implemented, the next is already being prepared under the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF). The Budget reflects national priorities, fiscal responsibility and the Government’s commitment to sustainable economic growth. #BudgetCycle #PublicFinance #Kenya #FiscalResponsibility

The People's Plenary at #COP30! This is the sound of solidarity. This is the sound of the global movement for justice. Constituencies delivered speeches and chants to amplify stories and demands for climate justice around the world. The people, united, will never be defeated!

Workers and environmental activists are united! The Just Transition mechanism comes with the most progressive rights-based framing we have ever seen in a COP decision. CAN's final intervention at #COP30 on behalf of Environmental NGOs. #BAM #BAM #BAM #JustTransitionRising
