    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, now that the Bill is becoming an Act of Parliament, I would also like the Minister to note the following. We have started something new where the management of our roads is being assigned to a particular group of people. I know without the politicians' interference in these authorities, I hope they will do a good job. Our practice has been that in matters of creation of bodies by Government or Parliament, politicians are normally involved. However, in this case, we have given clear blanket, I believe the politicians will not interfere with the operations of these authorities. We want them to do a good job. We expect to see changes on our roads in the next two years. Our biggest problem has been that we establish authorities like these ones, but they are terribly politicised and interfered with by politicians. We do not want to see these roads considered on that line. The current Minister is here. He is a very straightforward man in his dealings. He is a man who will not do things just to please anyone. I believe he will do a good job. Let us also not condemn his staff because we have never given them a chance to do what they are supposed to do. Most things go wrong because of the political interference. I plead that we allow the people who will manage these authorities to carry on in a free manner and within three years, we will see the fruits. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
