In his communication, Bartekwa complained that there has been a delay by LISGIS to conduct the census which was due this March.<\/p>\n<p>He said the importance of census in the developmental process of every country cannot be over-emphasized, especially considering that Liberia is on the pathway to a critical period of presidential and legislative elections.<\/p>\n<p>He argued that the time for a National Census cannot be decided without the knowledge of the Legislature. \u201cIf there is any further postponement for the conduct of the census, it must obtain the blessing of the Legislature,\u201d said Bartekwa.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, since the last population Census in 2008, Liberia has never had any Census.
