"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I would like to say that in complying with the law, we must laud the President for making his status report about the country. That said, I do not believe that this should be compliance for the sake of it. Several things crossed my mind after the statement had been read. Those who have been in this Senate before have heard the several speeches that the President has made in compliance with the Constitution. It occurs to me that the status of the nation is a continuous progress report. That means that the statement of 2018 must be informed by that of 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012. To that extent, I think that a better way of doing his speeches – for those who write the speeches for the President – is to tell us things that he has said before and how those things have been complied with. I have one in mind that bothers me a great deal. The statement on corruption appears to whitewash corruption. We cannot laud it because the President was bold enough to bring a list that caused much uproar to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
