Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow.
This was a serious act of omission for which I take full responsibility and which I deeply regret.
Therefore, I am today transmitting a legislative proposal to establish a Cost of Living Task Force.
I firmly believe that our current fiscal situation demands national unanimity on the issues of a larger concern.
