    "content": "It may well be that the answer may come from any of those people. However, the statement purporting to give an answer must be owned by the Cabinet Secretary, if those statements are meant to be tabled before Parliament through its Committees. We do not know those other functionaries. So, you need to get the Cabinet Secretary to own any statement or any answer even if it is going to be read by the Chief Administrative Secretary. I am sure Hon. Mbadi will tell you that he answered several questions that he never signed. We cannot go below that. We must remain with that as a standard. If any Cabinet Secretary is not appearing and the Committee has reasonable grounds to believe that he is deliberately failing, neglecting and or refusing to appear, then proceed and use the Standing Orders. We will get them here. Members are not asking Questions for parties. It is their representative role. Therefore, it is wrong for any Government functionary to assume that they just decide to ignore Parliament. We see them appearing in other places before people who have no oversight authority over them. So, they must appear because you are the people who exercise oversight authority over them."
