    "content": " It has come when we are prepared to carry out the population census. I have seen some quite good amendments to the Bill in the proposed amendments. It is a fact that the National Bureau of Statistics is now going to be a body corporate. Once these amendments are carried, we are hopeful that we will have more employment opportunities. It is because the functions of the bureau have been expanded. Of more importance is the provision that the bureau can also get the services of the Attorney- General in terms of advice on legal matters and representation if there is a court case. The Attorney-General will be able to offer free legal services which will, in my opinion, save public monies as opposed to when the bureau was to seek legal representation from outside. The Bill has recognised that it is necessary for the bureau to have a corporate secretary who will also serve as the secretary to the board. By so doing, the mandate of the bureau will have been extended. That will be important. I support the amendment.
