Any Cabinet Secretary who is invited is invited for the docket for which we vetted them. They need not come here in unison or in a choir. We vetted each one of them individually and so individually, they will have to appear before the House to explain questions. They cannot hide under collective responsibility. On this matter, as and when the questions arise on their dockets, each one of them will have to come to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
