    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to contribute on the statement by Sen. Chute, the Senator for Marsabit, on the operations of the NRT in Marsabit County, and obviously, the whole of Northern Kenya as far as its name is concerned. This statement comes at a time when the President was very clear about foreign organisations meddling in the peace, stability and sovereignty of our nation. In the same breath, could the NRT disclose if they have any armory within their headquarters and if there have been any deaths in the northern part of Kenya that have been associated with them, particularly for the Samburu Community? What do they have to say about that? Carbon credit has been the new gold in Northern Kenya. It has been a booming business, where NRT is ripping millions of dollars. It is important that they disclose their financial records and make it public, so that our people, majority of whom are illiterate, can follow through on the financial compensation they are getting from whoever they are selling carbon credit to. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is also important that our people are given enough information on how their land is utilised. Also, we do not see a reflection on the charities and the feedback to the community in the livelihoods of the people in the northern parts of Kenya. I thank you."
