Census is key in socio-economic planning and resource allocation

In two weeks Kenyans will once again be obligated to fulfill a civic duty as the great citizens of this country that they pledge their allegiance to. On two nights, August 24 and 25, government’s agents will conduct a head count in what will finally terminate in the nearly accurate number of Kenyans.

The census is a hugely significant exercise for the country. Data, as the world now knows, is key in planning of any form and this is why the government should get this exercise absolutely right. Indeed, the margins of error should be almost nonexistent.
