“The Ministry is engaged in consultations with various stakeholders including the Parliamentary Select Committee on Roads and Transport whose recommendations have just been received by the Ministry.”

His comments follow the public backlash after the media reported that the Parliamentary committee after perusing the details of the proposal supported the initiative.
