Picking up from the previous budget, Budget 2013/14 will play a big role in laying a firm foundation to usher in the devolved system of government. The environment for budget formulation and prudent financial management at the national and county government level is now set, given the passing of requisite legislation, including the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 and the launch of the second strategy for Public Finance Management Reforms in early 2013. Given this state of play one can interrogate the budget process using the PFM, Act 2012 as a benchmark. The three arms of government managed to submit their expenditure estimates to the National Assembly by 30th April. Equally commendable is the fact that for the very first time, the National Government adopted Programme based budgeting (PBB) to present its expenditure estimates in line with PFM reforms.

4. Government Expenditures exert a decisive impact
on the entire company. In countries where economic
planning has gained a foothold, government spending
is one single factor that would significantly influence
their rise, stagnation, or decay, In the ultimate
analysis because of its far-reaching importance in the
nation’s economy, public spending can be
metamorphosed into an instrument for either progress
or retrogression.

fiscal goals:

level of employment
• To promote a desirable
level of output

level of prices
6. What is Expenditure?
Expenditures are obligations that
the government incurs that must be
paid during or after the year when
they were incurred. The term
“expenditure” is more generic
than “expense” in that the latter
refers to items of expenditure that
are current.
7. What is meant by
Expense Class?
Expense Class refers to
the classification of
expenditures by the nature
or type of obligation.
9. Wagner's law on government
expenditures - accounts for
accelerated government spending. In

directed to the harnessing and
exploitation of available resources for
speedy growth.
10. • The Growth in population;
• Inflation (or the increase in the prices of
goods and services purchased by the
government), and
• The increasing demand for economic and
social development projects.

security contributions, overtime pay;
2.Maintenance and other operating expenditures, such as
traveling expenses, supplies and material, water,
illumination and power services, rent;

corporations.

classified as follows: infrastructure outlays, equity contributions to government
corporations, capital transfers to local government units, and other capital
outlays. Capital expenditures, particularly those classified as capital goods or
durable goods to be used for non-military and productive purposes, such as
construction of roads and bridges, dams, power and irrigation works, schools
and hospitals, are generally desirable because of their high multiplier effect on
the economy, i.e., they stimulate the growth and expansion of economic
activities of the private sector and facilitate the integration of industries.
The Capital Outlays of the
National Government
14. Infrastructure expenditures refer to the disbursement of funds
for the construction of various basic public works of the country,

growth of the national economy. Thus, the challenge to our people

debt amortization and interest payment
on foreign and domestic borrowings of
the national government or the public
sector. Under the current system of
budgeting, only interest payments are
treated as part of the expenditure
program because it represents as a real
expense item, the cost of borrowed
funds, which should form part and
parcel it of cost of the items financed
by the loan. Debt principal is treated as
an off-budget item because it is merely
a return of borrowed funds; hence it is
reflected as a financial account.

Debt Service consists of the repayment
of interest and related costs. The
payment of principal amortization is no
longer included in the budget, but it is
included in the cash outflow. The reason
for this is that principal payment is a
financing transaction rather than an
expenditure.
