    "content": "Our setup is different because our President is not an MP. However, the Standing Orders of both Houses allow the Speakers to plan for His Excellency the President to come as a visitor. After the formal Address to the Joint Sitting of Parliament, we should consider be inviting the President who should find time to come and sit in the House to listen to what Members say about his Address. Within three days after his Address, he should also find time to sit in the National Assembly to listen to what Members there say. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I was watching President Cyril Ramaphosa taking the blows from this other side and the cheers from the other side, by the time he was coming out, he was straight. He had listened to both sides. I think it would be a very good practice if this year the President can come one day, sit and listen to the Address on the other side and then go to the National Assembly to do the same, so that we can have a beginning of this nation for this year in a manner that says, we have issues and successes but we are one country and nation. Let us achieve the legislative agenda that I have set before the Senate and the National Assembly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe this would be a good thing. Otherwise, I rise to second and I thank you for giving me the opportunity."
