    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order to make a brief statement, which is an apology to the House. Yesterday morning, my Assistant Minister and I were late in getting to the House to answer a Question. There are circumstances that led to that. Yesterday was a very important day within the transport industry and within the road sector on a global basis. It is the day of the launch of the UN Decade of Action on Road Safety. We had a function at KICC and both of us proceeded towards that direction. We later realized that one of us had to be here. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, the Question had been asked and we were late in responding. Subsequently, sanctions were applied against the Ministry of Transport and I would like to appeal that those sanctions be lifted, so that we can continue to provide this House with all the information that it requires regarding that important sector. So, I wish to apologise to the House on behalf of my Assistant Minister and myself and the Ministry of Transport for not being here to transact the business that was required of us by the House."
