With a national population census due this year, Senior Minister within the Office of the President with responsibility for Finance, Dr Ashni Singh, on Thursday assured that it will proceed and that funds have been budgeted for the process.
Singh made this disclosure as the Committee of Supply considered estimates of the Ministry of Finance.
During the consideration of the estimates APNU+AFC Member of Parliament Tabitha Sarabo-Halley enquired whether the ministry’s contributions to the Statistical Bureau would cover a census as it is coming up on ten years since the previous census was done.
