    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this very crucial Bill. I think that up to about 30 per cent of the road accidents on our roads arise from the removal of road infrastructure, especially road signs. When you look at the value of putting up that road furniture viz-a-viz how much money is supposed to be paid by the scrap metal dealers, there is no comparison at all. It is very bad when we lose so many young boys and girls to that business, when they leave school to collect scrap metal from different points. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, one of the issues that we need to bring into perspective during the Third Reading of this Bill is what happens to a metal scrap dealer who is found buying scrap metals from children who are supposed to be in school. That is something we need to introduce in this Bill during the Third Reading as an amendment. We should make it an offence where a scrap metal dealer is found buying goods from very young people who are supposed to be in school."
