    "content": "(4) A person who may have used any official statistical data that has been cancelled, revised or adjusted in accordance with subsection (3), for research or advisory services, shall be indemnified by the Board in such manner as the Cabinet Secretary (CS) may prescribe in regulations. The justification for this amendment is that, in the interim, from the period the official statistical data is produced, gazetted or published, up to the point it is found to have some errors that calls for cancellation, revision and adjustment, there are many organisations that would have relied on that official statistical data to make decisions for research purposes. So, I am proposing that in the event the Cabinet Secretary has approved the statistics, since we have passed the amendments by Hon. Kolosh, and it turns out that some people, bodies or organisations used that to make their decisions, then there must be some form of indemnity. That indemnity will be by way of regulations published by the Cabinet Secretary. I want to give a typical example. You are a student, you have done your project and you have quoted some official data by the KNBS, then if that data is cancelled, adjusted or revised, your supervisor or university should not cancel or withdraw your certificate or degree just because that data was amended. So, any indemnity will be based on whatever the Cabinet secretary will pass as regulations cushioning the people, organisations or bodies that have used that data to make decisions, be it financial, academic or otherwise."
