    "content": "I will impress upon the Chairperson of the Committee to take on some of the recommendations we have, since he is in the substantive Committee, then to go much deeper. The Ad hoc Committee on Coronavirus Pandemic cannot focus on one area of transport or a different area. We have made preliminary findings, but there is a lot that needs to be done. Our drivers are suffering. Normally, they usually have additional staff who help them at the weighbridges. If you have luggage and the cargo moves; the axle balancing in terms of weight, you need somebody to help you to spread it and they have been denied that opportunity. There is a lot, but I am sure that the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Roads and Transportation is up to the task. He is very efficient and we have seen him before, rising up to the occasion. We will hand over what we have found and I wish you the best. Our economy is suffering; the drivers are suffering because they are being harassed. They are even being stigmatized. When local governors are acting like drivers are lepers or they have leprosy, it is not right. It is completely wrong and we need to defend our people. Thank you."
