Kenyans make fun of Census on social media

Kenyans have taken to social media platforms to make fun of the national population census that will be conducted starting August 24, even as the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) made the last minute preparations for the exercise.

While the Government, notably the Interior Ministry through the tough-talking Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, tried to rub into Kenyans the importance of the exercise, explaining that it was the data collected from the count that will advise the Government’s planning for its resources for the next ten years, characteristic Kenyans continued to create jokes of the critical event that takes place after every ten years.
