In my line of work, i often have people inquiring about data that we don't actually have access to. For example, students who come wanting to do research and they are asking questions like how many children are born everyday? How many female? How many male? I would have to tell them to go to the Ministry of Home Affairs, they keep the data.
As the National Statistics Office with the official mandate to collect and disseminate data, i often think it would be so much more convenient for the country if we could centralise our office where all the data of all the Ministries are kept and are accessible to everyone. Anything regarding the Environment for example can only be accessed at the Ministry of Environment. We don't have access to it.
