Five months from now, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) will conduct the 2019 population census. The August 24 and 25 census will be the first under the 2010 Constitution.
The last population census in Kenya was conducted in 2009. The 2019 census will have much more significance and impact than the one of 2009. It will be conducted under a new Constitution and devolved system of governance.
