"content": "(Hon. (Dr.) Deborah Barasa): Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, and hon. Members. Regarding the issue of carbon credit, that is quite an elaborate report that would require extensive discussions. We have carbon regulations in place. Again, we request for seven days to prepare that report. Concerning the issue of saw milling, trees are disposed through open tender as per the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act. We would like to inform you that everybody is allowed to tender. Communities are encouraged and are allocated 30 to 60 per cent of the same. Again, local licenses are considered at a ratio of 60:40. Concerning the issue of transportation of seedlings, there is no budgetary provision for it, but Kenya Forest Service (KFS) also supports in tree-planting sessions. So, we encourage utilisation of the same staff that we have as a Ministry. Moving to Sen. Mandago’s question, the public has been sensitized through the Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRI) and Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO). There are discussions going on with the community. However, I believe that we will send a comprehensive report regarding the same as we had alluded to earlier. Thank you."
