interest rates and depreciation of the local currency – can
lead to higher prices of goods and services and reduced
revenue collection;
• Huge Public Service Wage Bill, which consumes about 50%
of ordinary revenue, reduces funds available for
development;
• Litigations by institutions, individuals and groups that lead to
high cost to government and delays in implementation of
policies and programmes

34. EMERGING ISSUES & CHALLENGES …/2
• The fluctuation of the Kenyan Shilling against the major
currencies and volatility of the exchange rate markets has led
to foreign exchange losses emanating from remitting funds to
Kenyan Missions abroad, debt repayment and payment of
mandatory subscriptions to international organizations;
• The increasing frequency and intensity of impacts of climate
change which may result to vulnerability of the communities,
thus necessitating reallocation of resources from priority
programmes;
• Understaffing in some MDAs as a result of re-organisation of
the Government in 2013

35. RECOMMENDATIONS …/1
• Lobby for adequate resources to ensure implementation of
increased number of programmes as a result of expanded
Sector mandate
• Fast tract implementation of the ambitious sector priorities by
involving the Private Sector through the PPP framework. This
would facilitate funding of some priority projects that would
normally be shelved due to scarcity of public resources.

36. RECOMMENDATIONS …/2
• Enhancing staff capacity and development through provision of
adequate training resources to meet the demands of a modern
public service; and
• Strengthen the monitoring and evaluation of projects and
programmes to enhance transparency, accountability and
timely generation of status reports for projects under
implementation- plans under way to harmonize the e-PROMIS
and the National Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation system.
