The District Census Committee (DCC) Kapchorwa has asked the District Census Commissioner Representative (DCCR) to address the complaints raised by citizens of Kapchorwa especially missing villages.
In a meeting chaired by the LCV Kapchorwa Mrs Chebet Evelyn Kubarika, at Kokhall, members tasked the DCCR Mr Otim Vincent to raise issues of Kapchorwa so that people are not left out in the coming census due on the 09th May, 2024.
Chepterech S/County is the most affected with 19 villages not yet mapped, central division, Amukol, and western division.
Mr Otim promised DCC to have hope because
” _it matters to be counted”,_
every citizen of Uganda must be counted.
He encouraged the floating population ( those whom midnight finds outside homes, i.e., travelers and street kids)
Meanwhile, a nine days training for Census supervisors and enumerator is starting on 30th April in seven centers namely Cheptegan foundation school for central and East division, West division at the division headquarters, Kaptanya S/County headquarters, Chema and Munarya at Chema headquarters, Sipi Town Council, Sipi S/County and Kabeywa at Town Council headquarters, Kaserem, Kawowo and Kapsinda at Kaserem headquarters, Amukol, Gamogo and Chepterech at Amukol P/School.
