NDC calls on Ghanaians to participate fully in census

The opposition National Democratic Congress has issued out a statement to urge its supporters and the General public to participate in the ongoing Population and Housing Census.

The Ghana Statistical Service has began the census processes where a number of enumerators have been engaged to undertake this important exercise.

Kindly read the full statement issued out by the General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress

The National Democratic Congress by this press release wishes to urge the public to show keen
interest in the ongoing 2021 National Population and Housing Census and make sure they are
counted.

The census exercise which was started 11days ago and is scheduled to end on Monday, 12th July
has been very slow in reach, low on awareness and has received very minimum attention and publicity in the media. Many areas have reported ‘no show’, raising serious concerns about the
integrity of the census process.

The importance of the census exercise to the infrastructural, political and socio-economic
development of our country cannot be over emphasized, as it determines how the scarce
national resources of this country are efficiently allocated to equitably address, the various
developmental needs of the country.

Thus, failure to be counted has major implications for the
efficient planning and deployment of developmental resources to our respective communities.

It for this reason, that the National Democratic Congress is calling on the general public to show interest and ensure that they fully participate in the process and be counted.

We want use this opportunity to announce to the general public, particularly our members that, if for any reason, enumerators have not labeled your house or come to your home for the exercise, kindly call the Ghana Statistical Service toll free number.
