The Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) wants the Ministry of Mining and Petroleum to put in place mechanisms that would allow mineral-rich counties to enjoy the benefits of the resources currently being exploited within their jurisdictions and boost their own source revenues.
In recommendations on how the amount of money counties should be allocated in the 2020/21 financial year, the commission noted that while the different laws governing extraction of resources such as minerals, geothermal steam and oil have put in place revenue share mechanisms, the respective ministries are yet to put in place subsidiary legislation to allow the money to flow to counties and communities.
