Vague Offenses Enable Arbitrary Enforcement

This provision makes it a criminal offense (up to 5 years imprisonment) to "knowingly fail to comply with...directives issued under this Act"—but directives are executive instruments issued by the Authority itself, not parliamentary legislation. Businesses cannot know in advance what conduct is criminal since it depends on Authority directives that can change. The provision grants the Authority unfettered discretion to pursue "only criminal enforcement actions...or only administration enforcement actions...or a combination of both" without standards for when each applies, enabling selective enforcement. Combined with 24's grant of prosecution powers, the Authority becomes investigator, prosecutor, and beneficiary (fines fund its operations), creating conflicts of interest and operational uncertainty for businesses.
