Nairobi County collected the highest amount of revenue for the 2017/2018 financial year. This is contained in the Annual County Governments Budget Implementation Review Report for the 2017-2018 financial year prepared by the controller of Budget, Mrs. Agnes Odhiambo. In the report, ‘the Nairobi City County generated the highest amount of own source revenue at KShs. 10.11 billion, followed by Mombasa and Nakuru at KShs. 3.16 billion and KShs. 2.28 billion respectively. Counties that generated the lowest amount were Lamu, Tana River and Mandera at KShs. 55.29 million, KShs. 56.63 million and 61.82 million respectively.’
“Analysis of own source of revenue as a proportion of the annual revenue target indicates that three counties namely: Tana River, Migori and Kwale exceeded their targets at 188.8 per cent, 111.1 per cent and 100.5 per cent respectively. Conversely, the counties that recorded the lowest proportion of own source revenue against annual targets were Garissa at 34.7 per cent, Kisii at 27 per cent and Mandera at 26.8 per cent,” Odhiambo says, in the report.
The controller of budget authorized the release of KShs. 306.2 billion from the consolidated fund to the counties for operations during the period under review. Of the 47 counties, Nairobi got the lion share at KShs. 21.13 billion followed by Kiambu county which got KShs. 11.92 billion while, Kakamega got 10.97 billion to rank at position three. ‘The Counties that received the least amounts were: Tharaka Nithi at KShs. 3.78 billion, Isiolo at KShs. 3.76 billion and Lamu at KShs. 2.36 billion.’ The report shows that Nairobi County, Mandera County, Murang’a County and Laikipia County top in the list of counties that spent more than the total funds authorized for withdrawal by the Controller of Budget.
On development, Mandera county recorded the highest expenditure on development activities at KShs. 3.89 billion, followed by Kakamega and Kitui counties at KShs. 3.88 billion and KShs. 3.28 billion respectively. The report ranks Lamu, Vihiga and Taita Taveta counties as counties with the lowest development expenditure at Kshs. 361.27 million, Kshs. 297.47 million and 206.45 million respectively.
Nairobi county again topped in the list of counties that spent the highest amount of revenue on recurrent expenditures (like rents, salaries and bills) at Kshs. 22.36 billion followed by Kiambu and Nakuru Counties at 8.93 billion and KShs. 7.98 billion respectively. ‘The counties with the lowest expenditure on recurrent activities were: Tana River at Kshs. 2.26 billion, Isiolo at Kshs. 2.25 billion and Lamu at Kshs. 1.7 billion respectively.
The Members of County Assemblies, MCAs, received lesser sitting allowances against the approved budget allocation. The report indicates that: “The county Assemblies spent Kshs. 1.46 billion on MCAs sitting allowances against the approved budget allocation of Kshs. 2.34 billion. On average, four County Assemblies reported higher expenditure on MCAs’ sitting allowances than the monthly ceiling recommended by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, SRC, of Kshs. 80,000. These were: Kakmega at Kshs. 124,800, Marsabit at Kshs. 120,968, Tana River at Kshs. 93,599 and Taita Taveta at Kshs. 80,760.”
The office of the Controller of Budget now says that it has identified some challenges that affected budget implementation during the financial year under review. “These challenges included: high expenditure on personal emoluments (Salaries), delay in submission of financial reports by county treasuries to the Controller of Budget, under performance of own source revenue collection, high pending bills and delay in establishment of internal audit committees,” Mrs. Odhiambo concludes.

The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development, KICD, has quashed the allegations that pages of books with misleading content being circulated are from local instructional materials. KICD says that it has established the pages are picked from international media. The institute now urges Kenyans to verify content before circulating it.
“We have established that the page was picked from a foreign book. We urge Kenyans to confirm the source of any content before sharing.” KICD said in a presser, today.
According to the KICD, the book in question came to the limelight, in Ghana, after Ghanian media highlighted the book’s misleading content.
Newsblaze has indeed confirmed that the story about the book was done two years ago. According to our investigation, the Ghanian media reported in April 2016 that the Ministry of Education (of Ghana) had held that “a textbook depicting the head as a part of the human body used for carrying load has not been approved for primary schools in the country by the Ghana Education Service (GES). The ‘Natural Science for Primary Schools – Pupil’s Book 1,’ authored by Albert Joseph Quarm stated that the human head is used for carrying loads, an illustration that has been heavily criticized by many (in Ghana).”
KICD says someone must have, then, downloaded the image and shared it locally, in Kenya ( see image of the page from the book, below):
The image, of the book, caused online frenzy last week forcing the KICD to issue a statement that it will audit all textbooks being used in Kenya. (Kindly, remember to click on 2- to go to page 2- to read the whole feature)
On Monday, 15/10/2018, the KICD promised to take immediate action. “We regret information that has been circulating in the social media regarding content of some text books. We appreciate the feedback and will intensify measures to guarantee quality. KICD has been subjecting the books to further quality assurance checks”, KICD Director, Dr Jwan, said.

“In the last one week, KICD has been subjecting the books to further quality assurance to ensure they meet required standards”, Jwan added.
Dr Jwan urged publishers and booksellers to release only books that have received requisite approvals by the institute (KICD) for circulation.
In May, this year, KICD urged parents to buy only approved textbooks from authentic book sellers . “Go for KICD approved books to avoid pirated books with such glaring mistakes,” KICD advised. This came after a page of a primary school textbook was circulated and which had glaring mistakes on labeling of the human body parts (see image of the page from the book, below):
