    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for this opportunity. I am a Member of the Senate Standing Committee on Energy, Roads and Transportation. I believe that if this Petition is brought before our Committee, we will deal with it conclusively. First, even before this Petition was brought to this House, the Committee had undertaken to visit that section of the road. There are many issues on that road beyond what the petitioners have raised. Secondly, I thank the Chairperson for reading that petition on the Floor of the Senate. This confirms a few things about the mandate of this Committee and the Senate on dealing with issues that are being rumoured to be the preserve of a section of Parliament. Article 119 of the Constitution states that every person has a right to petition Parliament and by that, it means both the Senate and the National Assembly. Therefore, when the Petition is brought before our Committee, we will do justice to it. I thank you."
