Carbon deal does not involve sale, collateral of forest land in Sabah, says Kitingan

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan (pic) stressed that the Nature Conservation Agreement (NCA) did not involve the sale or collateral asset of forest land as alleged by opposition political leaders.

Kitingan, who is also state Agriculture and Fisheries Minister, said the NCA is an agreement involving carbon credit trading that would benefit forest conservation and provide revenue to the Sabah government to develop the state.
