Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>This year\u2019s National Population and Housing Census, which gets underway on Friday until May 19, will for the first time capture clans, the Executive Director Uganda Bureau of Statistics (Ubos), Dr Chris Mukiza, has revealed.<\/b><\/p>\n

Dr Mukiza made the remarks while meeting the Kyabazinga of Busoga, William Gabula Nadiope IV, at his palace in Bugembe, Jinja North City Division on May 6.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shall look at the sex, age, religion, and clan; we are capturing clans for the first time,\u201d Dr Mukiza said, adding that capturing clans is to get their clear statistics, the identity of people, and how they relate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI come from Kisoro, but have relatives in Busoga,\u201d he further added.<\/p>\n

Dr Mukiza said questions are aimed at capturing; how many people are in the country, where are those people (location), how are those people living (living standards, conditions of houses), what households own assets (means by which households access information \u2013 televisions, radios, phones), and from where they get social services (schools, health services, water and sanitation).<\/p>\n

He said the Census Night will be on Thursday, which is the reference date for the entire census enumeration period.<\/p>\n

Dr Mukiza added: \u201cWe shall ask who stayed at their household on Census Night; those born on May 10 will not be counted because they weren\u2019t living during the night, but one who dies on May 9 will be counted because they lived. That concept is very important.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further explained that they plan to publish aggregate information, not individual basis, noting that the results of the census will be out after a month.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first digital census which will have no huge files of paper; we are to use tablets, input data to headquarters, tabulate and after one month, results will be out.\u201d<\/p>\n

To allay any fears of being approached by conmen, Dr Mukiza said every remunerator will have an identity card and name tag with a Quick Response (QR) code, and advised those in doubt to scan the QR code using their smartphones.<\/p>\n

Dr Mukiza said he was in Busoga to rally the Kyabazinga to become the census champion for the sub-region and demystify myths within his Kingdom, citing a sect in Mayuge District called Njiri Nkalu, which was once famous for undermining government programmes.<\/p>\n

The sect withdrew their children from primary schools in Kityerera sub-county in the late 2000s, and blocked its followers from accessing medical treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith your word, they (sects) will listen,\u201d Dr Mukiza said, adding that they want to have 100 per cent coverage.<\/p>\n

The Kyabazinga said that without proper planning, data and statistics, nothing much can be done and rallied his subjects to embrace the census exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe calm, listen and accept to be counted; personally, I will be counted,\u201d he said, before accepting to become the census champion for the sub-region.<\/p>\n

Contentious issues<\/b><\/p>\n

The Ubos also addressed issues concerning counting street children, beggars, deaf, blind and those working in industries.<\/p>\n

Dr Mukiza said they have requested the district authorities for interpreters and have marked houses which have blind and deaf respondents, while street children and beggars will be considered under a \u201cfloating population\u201d and be subjected to a \u201cfloating questionnaire\u201d.<\/p>\n

Another concern was of polygamous men who reportedly have many homes and \u201ccan\u2019t be everywhere\u201d on Census Night.<\/p>\n

The Ubos deputy executive director, Mr Godfrey Nabongho, said such men\u2019s information will be captured in their absentia. \u201cYou will appear as many times as your homes, but will be counted once,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Overall, Dr Mukiza said they are almost ready. \u201cWe are sorting out a few issues, have a team in every region but will be ready by Friday,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
