Business Shutdown Without Fair Hearing

The Authority can impose administrative penalties of 20,000-50,000 penalty units for failing to comply with any "directive"—a term left undefined in the bill. If businesses cannot pay these substantial fines, the Authority may immediately suspend licenses or prohibit ICT business operations without requiring a hearing or independent judicial review before taking this coercive action. This creates existential risk for small and medium enterprises, where a single penalty could force business closure, while the vague compliance triggers make it impossible for businesses to predict what conduct will trigger enforcement.
