JUST IN: High Court Orders Fresh Census in Specific Counties After Disputed 2019 Results 

  The High Court has nullified the 2019 Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) census results for Mandera, Wajir, and Garissa Counties, citing significant irregularities. Garissa High Court Judge John Onyiego ruled that KNBS failed to uphold data integrity standards, leading to inaccurate population figures for the affected counties. “The published results in Volume 1 of the 2019 Kenya Population and Housing Census (KPHC) concerning these areas are hereby cancelled,” declared Justice Onyiego. The sub-counties affected include Mandera North, Mandera West, Banisa, Lafey, Mandera East, Mandera South, Eldas, Tarbaj, Wajir West, Wajir East, Wajir North, Balambala, Lagdera, Dadaab, and Garissa Township.
