It is only a few hours to the 2019 most anticipated census and the question running in people’s minds is the plight of homeless and street children.

A directive by Interior CS Fred Matiang’i announced that all residents within the borders of Kenya should be in their houses between 5.00PM and 6.00AM between 24th August and 25th.

The CS emphasized that all people will be counted including those living in lodgings and hotels and that all social places must remain closed for that period of time.

“All residents should be available in their house on Saturday to ensure they are counted. That is why we will have all the social places especially bars closed from 5pm so that we give everyone an ample time to be home by 6pm when enumerators will be coming to count you,” said Matiang’i.
