Order, members. Order! Thank you. Order, members! Please close the door. Hon members, the Speaker and I want to, first of all, tender our apologies to the President. We apologise for what has happened in the House today. We also want to apologise to you, members, our guests in the gallery, the country at large and everybody who has had to witness what has happened in this House today. We hope, as I said earlier, that out of bad lessons some education will come and we will learn to do things the right way.
We wish to proceed with the business of today and therefore call on our President to please take his place at the podium and to give us the state of the nation address. [Applause.]
