On the second day of the week-long census process, police in Nairobi's Buburu area conducted a raid at Tents Bar, one of the most popular drinking hubs in Eastlands.
According to eyewitnesses, more than 20 patrons were arrested and taken away, allegedly for being drunk. However, the police did not provide any further information about the arrests.
As the census process continues, concerns are growing about the effectiveness of the exercise. With many Kenyans still unaware of the census process, it remains to be seen whether the expected targets will be met.
