Finance Kech

District Accounts and Development Funds

District Accounts

According to the district accounts, Kech faces a severe financial imbalance each year. In 1995-96, the total revenue generated from the district amounted to rupees 155,369,132 which constitute only 8.7 percent of the total expenditure, either recurrent or development, in the same year. These data have been provided by the District Treasury Office where all the revenue, collected by various federal and provincial government departments functional in the district, is deposited. The same office is responsible for disbursing expenditure money to these departments. There may be some inaccuracy in these figures but one conclusion is easy to be drawn: if this situation continues, Kech cannot be self-reliant in financial terms.

 

The following table presents amounts of revenue generated from Kech by various departments.

Development Funds

Most of the development activities in the district are funded through the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP). Development funds from federal and provincial resources are only partly administered at the district level. The local government institutions either do not have financial independence, as in the case of the Union councils, or they have limited income resources. Major development activities are directly administered from provincial level and it is sometimes hard to trace accurately which part specifically benefits the Kech district.

 

In 1995-96, a total amount of 37.521 million rupees was allocated for development activities under the revised Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) in roads, health, education, and public health engineering sectors. This amount was earmarked for completion of 6 ongoing schemes. No new scheme was proposed in this budget while the ongoing schemes included construction of Turbat-Buleda road and Turbat-Mand bridge, establishment of model residential college, renovation of the district headquarters hospital, a water supply scheme, and construction of residences for the health personnel. For the year 1996-97, total revised PSDP allocation was 14.117 million rupees for one new and 3 ongoing development schemes. The allocation for the 1997-98 PSDP is 44.275 million rupees for one new and 3 ongoing schemes. Whole of this allocation has been made through the local resources and no Foreign Project Assistance (FPA) has been involved in this regard.
