On August 28, 2019, police in Kitui County arrested two individuals who allegedly refused to provide information during the census.
According to reports, the couple claimed to be followers of Jesus Christ and therefore did not need to be counted.
They allegedly told census officials that their numbers were already recorded in the Bible.
Maafisa wa polisi waliwakamata na kuwapeleka katika kituo cha polisi cha Ndolos ambapo wanazuiliwa wakisubiri kufikishwa mahakamani.
The couple's refusal to be counted has sparked controversy, with some questioning the legitimacy of their claims.
