Census count revision targets North Eastern Kenya

The storm created by the last census won’t die down just yet.
According to the 2009 population census conducted by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, Kenya has 38,600,000 people.

However, these figures were disputed by the Government and after a ‘smoothening’ process the KNBS revised the population figure to 37,700,000 less by roughly 900,000 people. It is understandable that errors could occur, but not to the extent that a figure is revised down nearly by a million.
