    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this noble Motion. We are losing many people through road accidents which are caused by human negligence, especially by drivers. Apart from losing lives, my club of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) keeps on ballooning because of road carnage. Every now and then when we have a road accident, the media and the citizens of this country concentrate on the number of deaths. Those who are maimed become a burden to our society because some of them will require wheelchairs, crutches and tax exemptions. They would also like to import duty free vehicles. All these things make them become a burden to our society. When we increase the number of Persons with disabilities (PWDs), we also increase the competition for some of the resources and benefits accorded to PWDs. Our club is the only one that is full. We do not want any more members because we do not want competition when it comes to the benefits that we have been given by the Jubilee Administration. We want to share the benefits that we have with those who are already disabled and not those who are joining us to increase the population of PWDs. That is why we pray to God every now and then that there should be no road accidents. Hon. Deputy Speaker, if the number of PWDs increases, it means my chances of becoming a nominated Member in 2022 will decrease. So, we do not need this increment."
