Statistics and Democratic debate

• Democratic debates that are based on good
  statistics will help to
• Identify societal problems that need attention.
• Design programmes to eradicate problems.
• Select appropriate actions to eradicate problems.
• Forecast future situations based on chosen policy
  actions.
• Provide bases for monitoring programme
  implementation.
• Provide bases for evaluating programme outcome
  and impacts on society.

15
Open debate and good Statistics

• Open debates based on good statistics lead to
  policies that
• Ensure equity.
• Guard against special interests and corrupt
  individuals hijacking the decision-making
  process.
• Limit gains of policy actions going only to
  unintended beneficiaries.
• Households and Producers make rational
  consumption, savings, and production plans.
• Ensure good governance as politicians, the
  electorate, public servants, private sector
  operators, and other stakeholders at the Federal,
  State and Local Govt. levels use the same facts
  to manage and assess the economy.

16
Open Debate and Good Statistics Contd.

• Ensure that polices and programmes are not
  manipulated to benefit elites within and outside
  government through under-the-table deals.
• Reduce the probability that programmes started by
  one administration are not easily abandoned by
  new administration.
• Ensure that arbitrariness is eliminated in
  policy-making.
• Ensure that minor societal problems dont attract
  attention more than serious ones.
• There is therefore the need to develop a
  statistical system to produce good statistics
