Ghanaians to be sensitised for 2010 census
By Awudu Salami Sule


A Research Fellow of the Ghana Muslim Academy (GMA), Alhaji Adam Yunus has asked the Ghana Statistical Service to properly orient and motivate the over 45,000 enumerators and supervisors it intends deploying for the nationwide census in March next year.


He said, the public should be well educated about the significance of the exercise and the need for them to provide accurate information about themselves.


Delivering a lecture on the topic " Towards successful 2010 population census-The role of Muslims in Ghana in Accra, Alhaji Yunus suggested that the questionnaire for the exercise must be made simple and easy to understand.


He said population census in developing countries like Ghana was usually bedevilled with challenges as high illiteracy rate which made self enumeration difficult.


He further noted that as a result of low education and publicity, many people often entertained fears of using census to find out about aliens to sack due to past political experiences and fear of information being used for taxation purpose.


"PNDC Law 135 makes census information a confidential one hence such information can not be used in any way against some one except for the purpose of knowing the population and its related component for planning and economic development" he said.


He has therefore urged all Ghanaians especially muslims to disabuse their minds that census figures would be used against them and urged them to avail for the exercise.
