• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Clause 6 is under Part III on Collection of Royalties and Fees and that is clearly stipulated. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Clause 8 provides the ratio of sharing revenue. For example, hypothetically if we have 100 per cent of the money in the kitty, 20 per cent will be paid into a Sovereign Wealth Fund established by the national Government. The remaining 80 per cent will be divided at the county level where 60 per cent will go to the national Government and 40 per will go to the county governments. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: At the county level, we will have another formula where 60 per cent of the revenue will go to the whole county and 40 per cent which will remain within a specific place where the resources are. For example, if you have sand or tree harvesting in a ward in Kakamega, the community around there will be considered. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Another important function of the committees will be to control how the money will be used because we have many funds in the counties. For example, governors are given funds for development and we also have the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). The idea is to control funds by coming up with projects that communities will agree on such projects communities that shall relate to in terms of money that will come from the royalties. Therefore, it will be upon them to decide what they want to use the money for. For example, they could decide to build a ... view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: There is also a provision on a resource that bestrides two or more counties. If it is a shared resource like the case of water which originates from Murang’a and comes all the way to Nairobi, then the three committees – in this case the three counties because the water passes through three counties – will form the arbitration committee and determine how to apportion or distribute that resource. The Sovereign Wealth Fund needs to be part and parcel of allocation of resources. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: I just want to stress on one thing. In Clause 10(2)(c), there will be five persons elected by the local community where the resource is found. It is from the five persons that we will get a chairperson. Other members will be the CEC member responsible for finance and the chairperson of the committee of the respective county assembly responsible for matters relating to natural resources. Since we want the local community to have a say on development projects from their resources, then the chairperson will be elected from one of the five elected members. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Clause 13(1) provides that there shall be established by each affected local community a Local Benefit Sharing Forum comprising of five persons elected by the residents of the local community. This is necessary so that the local people have a choice of who they want. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: When we went to Turkana, people were asked to decide whether security or education is more important. This debate has already been started. Therefore, it is upon the counties to sit and make a decision about what they think is important to them. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: In Clause 14 under Part V on Financial Provisions, we shall have the Natural Resources Royalties Fund which shall vest in the CRA. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: As stipulated in Clause 15, the discussion of what to incorporate in terms of projects will come from the local communities. Clause 16 provides for penalties. In Clause 17, existing laws and agreements prescribing the ratio of natural resource sharing will be subject to review by the CRA. We want to have a situation view
