Even though this speech will be full of sound and only sound, we should listen to what he has to say about the sordid state of affairs of the country as it stands at this hour.

The power cut caused so much trouble including life-threatening situations. But just for a talk, they have priority.

Wastage of energy for not having tangible results other than talking about war what forces did with Field Marshal's innovative plans.

Mr. President , address the burning issues. People do not want to listen to a speech written by some one else. Give it to Kaputa to read. He may improve his reading skills.

What is the point in listening to his bullshit when his words cannot be trusted? He said there won't be power cuts after 5th March and now the power cuts are increasing gradually.

Still a man full of himself. Why should people have to suffer after 9.30pm? Those who care to listen will watch a re telecast. Does it have to be live unless he is planning on shooting himself for us to watch.!!

Enough of talks now . All what we need some actions. He lost confidence of people and his own MPs . It is shame he is still holding into power . He should have been gone by now long time ago .. MR family is so scared to go home . They feared that if they lost their power they will be punished by one way or another . This physiological fear is another reason why they cannot give up power . Now; it is in the interest of the nation that monks and community leaders persuade Gota to go home with respect and dignity before it comes tool late ..

I personally don't want to his speeches. This is my protest against this president. I am fed up and frustrated about this country. No speeches needed. What ever president media spokesman writes will be read during his speech
