"content": "beyond the definitions that are given in this Bill, it is important, especially for the county governments to be taken through a capacity building initiative to understand how to deal with carbon credits, carbon markets and all those jargons along the carbon trading. It is important that county Governments will understand how they can establish county forests and how those county forests could begin to become a major source of own-source revenue. Mr. Speaker, Sir, devolution as we know it is supposed to be progressive in a way that at some point county governments should be generating a lot more revenue for themselves and their expenditure than the money that they receive from the Exchequer. This is an opportunity for them to enter into the carbon market to establish as many forests as we can to begin trading in carbon from their own resources. With those many remarks, I support."
