A Parliamentary committee has locked out the Commission on Revenue Allocation in deciding how county and national governments share revenue from natural resources. The panel chaired by Nyandarua Senator John Methu, filed the report on the National Resources (Benefit Sharing) Bill, 2023. The Bill gave CRA more powers to oversee the benefit sharing between the two entities. The commission shall be responsible for the co-ordination of the preparation of benefit sharing agreements between an affected county and an affected entity. The commission shall also build the capacity of local communities in negotiations for benefit sharing and implementation of related projects.
