At the risk of repeating what has been said so many times,counting is not being done on only one nite. It goes on day and nite till 31st Aug. But the place you spend the nite on the nite of 24/25th will be the reference point.

I'm guessing one of the questions the enumerators will ask is 'How many wives do you have?'. Now imagine you are an enumerator and you are supposed to ask that question to Baba Jimmy while Mama Jimmy is seated like one metre from you!!! I think the enumerator will need some sort of insurance or skip the question altogether - with permission from his/her supervisor!
Or he/she can just ask and get answers like kubaff,mavi ya kuku,bure kabisa! Wewe umetoka huko huko,ukatupata hapa hapa... in addition to makofi mazito from the mrs. 'How many times wirro you pipo ask that question? We aro going to dealo with you...'

@mpenzi et al,thanks for the clarification. @ maich,LOL! By the way don't you think that census ad with nyasuguta and company is misleading? Ati the census will allow them to add even more kids and that the govt will buy them a car.

Why do pple honestly think they are doing the Govt. a huge favour by being head counted?

Pple,it only helps the Govt. in planning and managing the resources equitably !

To those with frothing mouths about whether or not they will unleash dogs on enumerators,be warned they are being accompanied by armed police!

Obstruction of an enumerator is an offence.

@Lyanne

i would probably take the police accompanying the enumerators part as a good ans to ma worries,but anything else u said aint gona pass 4 me.... the govt aint doing me a favor by counting me... if anything they have identification details of majority of adults,birth certificates for most kenyan citizens,death certificates for almost every dead person in this country,very few leaves the country without imigration dept clearance. so the margin of error for this census is more or else equivalent to the unregistrered births,deaths and illegal immigrants. therefore the govt already have the census results so why spend shs 7 billion for a census whose results they already have at a time when every single coin is needed to feed hungry Kenyans.....

Such monies can be used to feed the hungry or compensate mau evictees..

Its just me whatever choice you make in life make sure that you can live with it.

@Ericks

You cant trivialise the Census exercise like that. True there are hungry people and there are still people in IDPs but census is so important we'd rather be looking where to reduce the budget to cater for those things than suggest we shelf it. Granted our gament may not have its priorities right but not on this.... this is an important exercise whether you intend to participate or not.
