The start of the National Census in different parts of the country encountered several glitches.
The exercise which commenced last night by enumerating the floating population, is expected to run for ten days until May 19th.
Today in some parts of Kasese district the commencing of the National Population and housing census program was delayed due to technical challenges by enumerator’s tablets.
Speaking to Mr. Rashid Kambale, the supervisor for Rusese ward in Mpondwe-Lhubiriha town council at Kiime Resort who had come to enumerate Hon.Godfrey Baluku Kabyanga, the state Minister of information, ICT and National Guidance noted that three cells in his area of supervision, the tablets had failed to upload. Mr.Kambale speaking…
Mr. Moses Tsutsu, the chairperson local council three for Isango sub-county, revealed that about seven village enumerators had not yet started by 10.00am due to technical challenges. Mr. Tsutsu speaking….
Mr. Isaac Kalyabyuma, the local council two chairperson for Nyakabingo ward said some enumerators returned to their sub-counties after some tablets failed to perform as expected. Mr. Kalyabyuma adds..
Hon. Kabbyanga, shortly after being enumerated called for collaborated effort among the community and enumerators for successful exercise.
Hon. Kabbyanga speaking…..
Census figures play a pivotal role in guiding, planning and budgeting in line with the National goals and objectives. END.
