Will you open the door and let in the guys conducting census? That seems to be the excruciating question most Kenyans are asking themselves. For me,I'm still scratching my head not sure whether to open the door or the window to speak to the guys. You can bet criminals will have a field day on those two nights,watu watalalishwa chini as cartoonist Gado rightly depicts in today's Nation.I was wondering,why not conduct the Census on weekends afternoon till late evening? The government should also order all the pubs to be closed during census otherwise millions of Kenyans will be out there getting wasted. What say you?

From what I have gathered,census is conducted following certain standard procedures so as to achieve the desired results. While the government has made every effort to conduct this year's census to meet the highest of standards,my imagination is that there are dark forces at work employing all manner of tactics to mar the exercise so as to discredit the end result. Security is an issue whether there is a census or not.Tribalism is not alien and will be at our bed side long after the census is gone. Census is not an invention for wealth creation for enumerators,supervisors or any other persons with such inclinations. Let us for once put the nation ahead of our narrow,pitiable,self-serving interests.The values of a credible census can never be gainsaid. It starts with us.

or better still,have them slide the forms under the door/through the window,give you time to fill them up and slide them back to them.

You can bet that since most of the census staff will be local,some will sorora your house proper. That is spy out for it's contents like- dvd player,plasma,cd player and that info will be used after a month by gangsters when they storm your diggz.! I'm sorry but the window will do! Amen.

My house hawaingii. I'll put a chair and table outside the window and with the security light on,that will do. Otherwise what else do they want to see inside my house?.......Unless they have to do a head count all through the bedrooms.

If they come at my place after 6.00pm,too bad coz I'l have locked the gate. I can do without being counted for all I care..

Hata mimi kwangu hawaigii!!!! Before I do anything,I always weigh the pros and cons. In this case the cons (kulalishwa chini,kusorora for future reference & even being kidnapped from your own house - inside this time not at the gate!) far outweigh the pros (ati 'natambulika'). I'm sure they have a way of calculating the margin of error. I'll be that error!! Nini hii! The last time there was a proper census in Kenya,we used to sleep with our doors open sometimes,no buglar proofing,no estate thugs with guns etc. etc. This is 2009 my friend!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

@All,

Good views down there. Assuming any of your jobless brother/Cousin/close friend or yourselves have landed this casual job. Would you open the door at least to help them earn a living. We are speaking of them as if they are not part of our society. Tomorrow,it could be you needing that information.

This thing is being done by us for us
