    "content": "Hon. Speakers, today I return to Parliament as President and I am here to fulfil a constitutional imperative introduced into our political tradition and practice by the 2010 Constitution. In fact, I was indeed privileged to be the Second President to be discharging this constitutional mandate when I first made my first State of the Nation Address on 27th March 2014. Article 132 of the Constitution mandates the President to report to a Special Joint Sitting of both Houses of Parliament on measures taken and progress made in the realisation of our national values as defined by Article 10 of our Constitution. I am also constitutionally obliged to report on the status of our fulfilment of the international obligations of the Republic and the state of our national security and the general state of the nation. In line with this constitutional instruction, my address today will emphasise on three elements that I consider important to our country: First is the state of our economic development, which is about our national wellbeing; second is the state of our social structure, which looks at The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
