    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this looks reasonable. It is reasonable to gain access for purposes of getting accurate data for completion of the census. However, as reasonable as it is, and perhaps the Chair will guide us, it can only make sense if, one, “authorised officer” is defined. If it is not defined in the Act, it can be abused. Who is the authorised officer? Perhaps, the Chair will guide us as to where that is. Section (2) says: “…upon production of a letter of authorisation.” Again, who is to give that letter of authorisation? These are important issues because if we do not define them, then, under the guise of the census, people can start getting access to any establishment anyhow and that can be dangerous. So, I agree with the spirit, but I will only agree if the Chair guides us so that it is properly fine-tuned. We must remember that we had given the Director-General similar powers to require such information from households. I will appreciate if I will be guided."
