    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Member for Mbeere North did not listen to me. I asked him if, in line with our Standing Orders, he has any pecuniary interest. He has confirmed that, indeed, he has pecuniary interest. Therefore, he cannot contribute to this Bill. He is pretending to be opposing it. What is informing his contribution is the consultancy he is doing in the carbon credit market. In line with our Standing Orders, it would only be in order, if he has any pecuniary interest, to first declare it. It is within his right to oppose the Bill, but even as he does so, people should know that he is opposing it because he has pecuniary interest in the carbon credit market. As the Chair said, he cannot continue to mislead the House. Hon. Baya also pointed out that he is misleading the House that the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Environment are now amassing powers to themselves in the carbon credit market trade. I am not in any way saying that that is what he is doing. However, he looks like someone who is protecting pecuniary business interests. That is wrong and it is out of order. So, I beg that you ask the Member for Mbeere North to either declare his interest or cease further contribution to this Bill."
