    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Thank you very much, Hon. Boss Shollei, for donating those minutes to me. Hon. Deputy Speaker, those who are normally affected by road traffic accidents are mostly persons with disabilities. The membership of our club gets bloated every now and then through road accidents. So, I am an interested stakeholder when it comes to traffic rules. I support the annulment of these regulations because, for once, this may be another soft- landing spot for officers of NTSA, who were removed from our roads for trying to manipulate the issuance of transport and traffic rules. This House needs to come up with a law to regulate the issuance of driving licences. We have thorough training for pilots – even for pilots who fly helicopters ferrying only six passengers – but we do not have thorough training for public transport drivers who ferry 30 to 40 passengers. The lives of the passengers are in the hands of the drivers. So, I support the annulment of these particular regulations. The Committee should go further and come up with rules and regulations that will govern the issuance of driving licences to public transport drivers. Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
