“While the perennial warmongers whose pastime is to make their day complete with their passion for gossip and entertainment be it between showbiz couples or political allies resulting in intense conflict and their eventual irreconcilable separation, the majority of us who are sober and discerning feel sad and concerned how this development could affect the future of our country,” he said.

Let me answer that question towards the end of my speech.

Executive Director Mr. Ebb Hinchliffe, to the officials and members of this esteemed Chamber, to all the guests joining us today, a pleasant afternoon to everyone.
