KOTA KINABALU: Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan should clarify his recent statement that the state was in the process of committing some two million hectares of rainforest to a 100-year carbon credit conservation project, says Adrian Lasimbang.

The indigenous rights activist said this was similar to the Nature Conservation Agreement although Kitingan never made any direct reference to the controversial deal.

"I just want a clarification in public, is Kitingan talking about the NCA or a different scheme?The public deserves to know the truth behind this. "This initiative is expected to become a prominent carbon dioxide sink, reinforcing our proactive stance on climate restoration," he said. Last February, Sabah AG Datuk Nor Asiah Mohd Yusof said that the NCA was still not enforceable as due diligence was still being conducted on the third-party company involved, while matters regarding the terms of the agreement were still being fine-tuned.

"We don’t want him to continue misleading the public despite the State AG’s statement that the NCA is not enforceable," he said.
