Abstract
Inefficiencies in development expenditure have led to increased calls for more governance in Kenya. The
quality of governance, more so good governance, has been fronted as a prerequisite for economic growth, hence its
inclusion as a key influencing factor in the efficient management of development expenditures. This paper offers a
background on good governance, public expenditure and economic performance. It also provides a theoretical and
empirical overview on the relationship between good governance on development expenditures in Kenya by
reviewing other literature on the topic. This paper concludes that promoting good governance in Kenya is
significant in improving efficiency in development expenditures leading to economic growth. Also, the paper
creates a platform where further insight can be provided through empirical research.
