    "content": "I do not want to belabour the point that has been made on the census. It is important that we get the data right. The 2009 results have always been under contention. It even led to skewed allocation of resources. You can see where the people are living, but they do not have money. That is the kind of disparity that we want to resolve even as we get data. I truly support that local staff should be hired for the census, but even as we are agitating for that, we should never lose sight that by just going so local, you could also comprise on the data. We could have manipulation of data because people could well do some things knowing that there is no oversight from outside. Hence as I support the call for local staff to be employed so that they can be recognised, we should not lose sight of the fact that there could be risks such as data being compromised. You will need to introduce people from outside to enhance the reliability and credibility of the data that will be collected during census so that you do not end up with challenges in terms of people saying a neighbour came but did not give us the right thing. That independence is a fundamental principle of data gathering."
