Published on November 5, 2019, Tharaka Nithi leaders have expressed dissatisfaction with the recent census results, citing discrepancies that could affect the county's representation in the national government.
According to sources, the leaders are planning to move to court to challenge the results, which they claim are inaccurate and unfair to the county.
The census results, released earlier this year, showed a significant increase in the population of other counties, while Tharaka Nithi's population remained relatively low.
The leaders argue that this could lead to a reduction in the county's allocation of resources and representation in the national government.
They are calling on the government to review the census results and address the discrepancies before it's too late.
