IN THE NIGHT OF Aug 24 this year, a massive exercise of head-counting all Kenyans will be conducted. The highly published exercise has been met with stinging criticism from various quarters. It’s unfortunate that those who have been trying to blockade this exercise have no valid reason for their decision.
One of cardinal reason for the government to conduct the national census is to come up with a picture of social and living conditions of her people. It’s in the figure that the decision of distributing resources equitably is established.
Since the exercise is carried out after ten years, it’s very important that everyone stand out to be counted. Although the media have been estimating the Kenyan population to be in the range of 38million,a reliable figure can only be gotten through actual counting and statistical analysis.
