Targeted floating population was not counted on Census Night
The census exercise in Kampala started on a low note last evening with little implementation of what the Uganda Bureau of Statistics had communicated. There were no roadblocks on the major road exits from the capital Kampala, and the enumerators were seldom seen. Officials at UBOS indicated that there would be enumeration of the population they term 'floating,' meaning those in transit such as passengers in buses and truck drivers, fishermen, and street children. However, the deployed enumerators in Kira Municipality did enumerate a few truck drivers whom they found were sleeping in their trucks at Bweyogere, Wakiso District. Here is a glimpse of how the census night unfolded.
