KOTA KINABALU, July 27 — The controversial carbon trading deal in Sabah is still on the cards despite previous interference from an individual to declare the agreement unenforceable, said deputy chief minister Datuk Seri Jeffrey Kitingan.

He said that a genuine statement or objection from the AG would have been officially conveyed to him but since the statement was given to the media without going through the proper channels, it was not an official government stance. “If it was from the AG, they should have given it to me but it went directly to the press so, that means it’s not from the government,” he said, adding that the AG also sits on the steering and management committee for the project with him.He said that the NCA was now delayed by a year and will take 12 to 18 months to see results.

“Right now we are only getting RM110mil from our forest reserves. Compare that to conservation — it will be billions. What we are waiting for?” he asked.
