| dc.description.abstract | The past decade witnessed highest development expenditure dedicated towards improvement and
development of new infrastructure corridors and networks in Kenya. This trend extended two
decades of public reforms in development expenditure stretching back to 2003, when government
reforms focused on domestic sourcing of development funding from tax collections. The past
decade was unique in that efforts towards infrastructure development were anchored on the vision
2030 strategic development plan. This portended resolute dedication towards infrastructure
development, integrating diverse source of financing such as development aid inform of grants,
concessional loans, commercial loans and even Public-private-partnerships (PPPs). In the same
period, very little evidence has come out to show what such efforts in infrastructure development
has yielded for the citizens in regard to household income and quality of lives. Therefore, the
current study seeks to determine whether infrastructure investments impact on economic growth
from the household perspective. The analysis looks into investments into infrastructure notably;
roads infrastructure, energy generation, public amenities and public utilities and the impact on per capita income of the country. The study shall adopt, descriptive survey design. Secondary data,
shall be obtained from published budgetary and public expenditure reports as published by the
treasury ministry, parliament reports and the central bank of Kenya (CBK). Further, data on per capita income shall be extracted from publications of the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics
(KNBS). Data analysis will utilize time series data (2001 – 2021) which will cover 30 years. In
addition, linear regression technique and panel regression model will be employed in the study. | en_US |
