    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the concern is very genuine. We have admitted that there is a backlog. As of last week, I believe we had a backlog of about 36,000 licences. Working at the current rate, we estimated that within a month, we would have cleared a substantial number of that. Recently, this House passed a Bill on the creation of the National Transport and Safety Authority which will take over the responsibility of issuing driving licences from the Registrar of Motor Vehicles as part of reforms to disentangle some of the issues that have been clogging that system. That Authority comes into effect from 1st December. Realistically, I request that we be patient so that we have a smooth transition or hand over from the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to the Authority, set up the system and clean up the data base. Hopefully,"
