Users on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook shared their thoughts on the census results, with some joking about the 'missing' women and others making light of the disparity.

One user quipped, 'I think I know where the missing women are... they're all in the men's bathrooms!' Another user joked, 'I'm starting to think the men in Kenya are secretly aliens.'

While the census results sparked humor, they also raised important questions about the country's demographics and the need for more women in leadership positions.
