The County Resource Development Bill outlines how counties can develop and share resources and resolve conflicts arising from them. Where two or more counties share a resource, the respective county governments shall formulate a sharing plan that ensures equitable returns for the parties. “The county executive member shall implement the resource-sharing plan upon the approval of the county assembly,” the Bill reads. A county government may agree with another county to exploit and manage resources within their respective county. Each county shall provide for the inclusion for the sustainable management and development of county resources in the respective county development integrated plan formulated.
