The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) has confirmed that the training of supervisors and enumerators hired to conduct 2019 national census will begin this month, on July 15.
As per the details that the Kenyan Business Feed has received and confirmed, the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics has recruited 2,700 ICT supervisors, 27,000 content supervisors and 135, 000 enumerators for the population count scheduled for the night of August 24-25.
We can also confirm that the census will be paperless and the application has already been developed by Moi University and Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.
The ICT supervisors will train the content supervisors who will in turn train the enumerators for the digital census.
“We have tested the programme and we are confident of its capacity to capture data,” said KNBS Director-General Zachary Mwangi on Monday.
