National government budget at a high level. This category is looking at budgets, or the planned government expenditure for the upcoming year, and not the actual expenditure. To satisfy this category, the following minimum criteria must be met:

  • Planned budget divided by government department and sub-department
  • Updated once a year.
  • The budget should include descriptions regarding the different budget sections.

Comments

Data are available in pdf-format and seemingly also exists on the Kenya Open Data (KODI) portal, with more details (sector, county) but is not up-to-date (according to submitter). "We chose the most significant data sources going forward and trackable as far back as possible. The ministries have changed with the new dispensation and the budget datasets on KODI are not only outdated but span only two financial years."

Reviewer comments

Original 2013 submission and new 2014 submission both had bad data link [https://treasury.go.ke/index.php/resource-center/cat_view/79-budget-], but we (Christian / Mor) found the budget elsewhere in pdf-format [https://treasury.go.ke/downloads/2014%20FINAL_Budget%20Outlook%20and%20Review%20Paper%20%28BROP%29.pdf]. 2014 submission from Ahmed Maawy was updated according to this finding.
