With only five days before the 2022 National Census of population and Housing comes to a close, enumerators are experiencing challenges handling some households.
In Kasama and Chinsali enumerators have recorded several non-contacts with some households who are reported to out for fishing.
In a telephone call, a Chinsali enumerator, Maureen Chewe, has alleged that the exercise closing date has since been moved to 19th September 2022, to enable them finish with the non-contacts.
Another enumerator Micheal Chanda, has bemoaned the non-payment of the 40 percent allowance, wondering how they will continue with the exercise without food stuff.
