Section 8

Section 28 of the legislation is invasive and lacks checks and balances, allowing unlimited control by one person without checks, leading to severe abuse since the start of the witness's tenure at ID.

“Section 28 does not have any checks and balances and it can be likened to a section 205 of the Criminal Procedure Act. It is invasive. It is exceptionally invasive, but section 205 of the Criminal Procedure Act allows for a person to make submissions to a Magistrate or a Judge to explain why we are now invading this person’s privacy, or we need this information. Section 8 allows unlimited control by one person without any checks or balances, and that is how we were investigated, throughout that.”
