On August 29, 2019, the ongoing census in Nakuru County was supervised by PS for Housing Charles Hinga and senior Government officers.
During a visit to various estates in Naivasha, Hinga praised the County Government for supporting the exercise despite facing various challenges.
“Nakuru County has so far recorded 88 percent in terms of coverage while in Naivasha town the figures stand at 89 percent and this is very impressive,” Hinga said.
He added that the government had rolled out all its machinery in the final stage so that all those who have not been captured could get a chance.
“We hope that by the end of Saturday all those who have missed out will get a chance to be counted in this exercise that is very critical,” Hinga said.
Nakuru County Commissioner Erastus Mbui termed the exercise as very smooth, adding that few challenges had been recorded.
“Am happy to report that by Thursday, 88 percent of the households in the county had been counted and we shall achieve 100 percent by the end of the day on Friday,” Mbui said.
