    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me a chance to add my voice to this Statement. I want to congratulate Sen. Wetangula for coming up with this Statement. Truck drivers are suffering and there is need for us to realise that they also have rights like anybody else. They are eking a living and they need to be cushioned. There is need to see to it that during the snarl-up, there is provision of water, soap and food so that they are cushioned. These truck drivers have primary needs just like everybody else; they would like to go to the toilet, bathe and wash themselves. So, where do they do this? There is need to realise that they are social beings. In as much as they are staying long in the snarl-up, there is danger of them socializing with the people around there. There is also a danger of Coronavirus increasing with regard to human social interactions. There is need for the Committee to do something to ensure that these truck drivers are cushioned. Their plight needs to be taken seriously because they are like anybody else. As we cushion others, let us also cushion them because they need to be heard as well."
