In the CFSP document, the FY2024/2025 budget estimates are to the tune of 7,058,119,805, again, the highest ever made budget in Laikipia County.
The resources are divided between both arms of Government, the County Executive and the County Assembly and they are designed to hugely be invested in development intervention programs and in enactment of development legislations.
