The government has denied claims that there are plans to manipulate census data.
In a statement to the media houses, Government Spokesperson Cyrus Oguna said that the government is working around the clock to ensure that Kenyans get credible and accurate results upon the completion of the process.
He noted that despite speculations that some officials have been planning to doctor the outcome of the process, the government is under control of everything.
He also dismissed claims that there are loopholes that could be used in the manipulation of the outcome of the process in the long run.
Oguna assured Kenyans that the systems under use a tamper proof and no one has the ability to manipulate them at the end of the day as alleged by different parties.
“The information being collected is continuously being monitored to show the scope of coverage and data quality. Mechanisms have been put in place to protect the data collected from any form of manipulation.
"It is therefore futile to attempt to interfere with data collected. In case of any such attempts, the system will flag it out and legal action will immediately be taken,” said Oguna, as quoted by Capital FM.
The exercise is set to be completed on Saturday.
