    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you the Chairperson of the ad hoc Committee on COVID-19 on this elaborate Report. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the impact of COVID-19 on our economy is being felt by all of us. So, I will not belabour the point. As you also know, this Committee has clustered a lot of its thematic areas. This is the thematic area that looks at the financial and economic issues. I do not wish to repeat all the recommendations and observations of the Committee as you have seen. We hope that Senators will interact with this Report which has a lot of very good information because it is based on very extensive consultations with stakeholders in this sector. If there is one time that public participation has been done justice, it is this time based and enabled by technology. Therefore, going back to your message this morning, the power of ICT to make us implement our Constitution, especially in regards to public participation, at a low cost and minimum disruption, is amazing. We have met many people. I do not wish to go through all the people we have met. Without technology, that would not be possible. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we gave recommendations, we also bore in mind that our revenue as a country is taking a beating. Our revenue is probably going to collapse if we are not careful."
