    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources regarding the operations of Northern Rangeland Trust in Marsabit County. I sought a similar statement on 18th April, 2023, but I did not receive a satisfactory response since the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry indicated that they could not provide the requested information because there existed a gap in the legal and policy framework on carbon markets. The Climate Change Act 2016 has since been amended to provide for the regulation of carbon projects and trading in Kenya. The amendment came into force on 15th September, 2023. I, therefore, request the committee to- (1) Provide a comprehensive report on the operations of Northern Rangeland Trust, known as NRT, in Marsabit County, indicating their areas of operation. (2) Clarify whether NRT intends to expand and set up an operation in new locations and, if so, provide a list of respective locations. (3) Disclose the amount of funds gained by NRT on behalf of the County Government of Marsabit for carbon credit discounting, indicating the amount that was paid to the local community. (4) Provide a list of all organisations currently representing Marsabit County as agents in NRT. Thank you."
