I want to raise a point of clarification, which will be very brief, 30 seconds, to be clear on the timeframe of what happened. The Minister was prudent and did his job properly. He went to Cabinet, made his announcement and gave clarity. What actually happened and caused chaos the length and breadth of the country was that another Minister tried to upstage him by going a couple of days beforehand and making the announcement, trying to be ahead of the Minister for Finance.
