“It is within the purview of our committees to demand an explanation on the process and procedure through which the programme would be implemented. So, our joint committee was right. The committee was right to ask the questions. We are meant to interrogate the processes through which such programmes will be implemented.“The committee resolved that the programme be suspended until such explanations are provided on how this programme will be implemented.
