The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) has sought to dispel fears that a group of individuals is moving around under the guise of checking IDs ahead of the 2027 elections, falsely posing as the agency's enumerators.
In a notice, KNBS maintained that the information being spread through social media was malicious and an attempt to undermine an ongoing listing exercise. KNBS assured the public that all their enumerators had valid identification cards with all the relevant details. The agency, mandated with conducting statistical surveys on behalf of the government and its agencies, is currently engaged in a household remittances survey.
KNBS Director General Macdonald Obudho launches the report on Wednesday, October 18, 2023.
