    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the chance to support this important Statement. It is important that we realise PWDs are human beings and should be respected in all ways. If they have to travel, go to a house or cross a road, there should be amenities that enable them to do such crossings or enter a particular building without any hindrance. Crossing streets is very hazardous for everybody, including ordinarily young people. It is even harder for PWDs and senior citizens who do not move as fast and should be considered as being disabled. Our motorists need to be trained to respect human beings. They need to be re- trained to respect people. When people cross the road, they should slow down and let people pass. They include PWDs and the elderly ones. There is technology that can be used at zebra crossings. Such technologies can “talk” to alert the disabled persons when it is safe to cross. Otherwise, like Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve said, we have those who are blind who cannot know when it is time to cross. So, they need something that “talks” to inform them when it is safe to cross. This way, we would help our PWDs to live normal lives."
