    "content": "As much as you are saying that it is easier to open up to the neighbour, people might also be secretive. They do not want their neighbour to know what they have. The survey is much more than just counting people. The census will involve even the number of animals you have, sources of income and other things that people may not want to share with their neighbours. It is important that we balance some of these things; the pros and cons of using local staff vis-à-vis outsiders. We need to encourage that at least all the youth, who are competent but not necessarily in other employment, should be given first priority. That way, we will not end up with people who are already employed taking leave just to take up those census jobs. That is what the concerns seems to be when I talk to the youth of Kipipiri. I am sure it is the same across the country. So, let us give them an opportunity. Let us go out as political leaders and tell our people the need for the census. Let us help them understand and mobilise them to be prepared. Since we are going to be on recess, we will all contribute to ensure that every Kenyan is captured so that we can have a semblance of the data that we already have through the Huduma Namba. How does it correlate with what is in the census? That way, we will tell if, indeed, generally we are making some headway in terms of accuracy of statistics. When it comes to allocating resources, boundaries review, and future development plans, at least, we will base all that on a correct and accurate data set.
