Excerpts....

'Kenya's population is expected to approach 40 million as the national population census is conducted on Monday night'


Q. Are pregnant women frantically trying to attain labour so their kids can be counted? (population is expected to approach 40 million)

'This is a big jump of 10 million from the 28.7 million recorded 10 years ago...'

Q. 28.7 + 10 = 38.7....why 40 million or why not 'about 40 million'


Usual me - splitting hairs.....

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

@ Ngalaka,

Apes? I think monkeys describe them better than apes. Apes are much brighter.

Yesterday,one reporter was asking a respondent 'based on what you have been hearing from the media,do you think you will answer the 'Tribe' Question ?'. it's like thety poison the masses and then go ahead to test (stupidly) if it worked.

Another correspondent doing census reporting wasted the time of a Census supervisor by asking her stupid questions on National TV.
