"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to speak about the new phenomenon that has set in due to issues and conversations around climate change. I know that the Ministry is bringing about energy saving light bulbs. That is very exciting. But my question is: Is that happening as a result of carbon trading? If that is the case, are we getting value for money? If we are, is that the best we can do? If that is going to be a national project, I believe that we can really benefit. I am speaking about that issue because I know about it. I know that the Ministry also knows about it. I know you know that it can turn around the way livelihoods are being affected, especially for the woman in the area where she has to use firewood for fuel. I am asking the Ministry not to allow carbon trading to become, in the long run, one of the big disasters in terms of fraud. As we start to engage in carbon trading, we do it openly and transparently for the sake of the people of this country, especially the women. They are the ones who need the fuel for energy and the running of their livelihoods."
