    "content": "Part VI is a very important section. It refers to consumer protection and relates to consumer welfare. Clause 55 prohibits false or misleading representation of goods in regard to standard, quality, value, sponsorship, approval, performance characteristics, origin and after-sale service. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 56 prohibits unquestionable conduct. Unquestionable conduct will be perceived in relation to inter alia, relative strength of the person and consumer; understanding of the consumer in regard to the nature of transaction or contract and whether there was any undue influence exerted. Unquestionable conduct shall also be construed in relation to banking, microfinance, insurance and other services if fees are imposed without informing the consumer. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 57 prohibits unquestionable conduct in regard to business transactions, that is, a consumer who is buying for resale or a business consumer. When analyzing infringement of this Clause, the Authority shall have due regard to inter alia, strengths of the business consumer; whether undue influence was exerted or identical services or goods would have been acquired elsewhere at a cheaper rate and there was discrimination. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 58 provides for the Authority to publish a warning to the public in regard to risks involved in the use of goods specified in a notice. The Authority is required to publish the findings of its investigations in regard to safety of goods. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 59 provides for the prosecution of any supplier who supplies substandard and unsafe goods. Clause 60 provides for consumers to be provided with product information standards relating to performance, composition, contents, method of manufacture or processing, design, consumption and finish or packaging of the goods. Goods for export are not included."
