The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) might have paid ‘ghost workers’ Sh18.5 million to help in mapping during the 2019 Kenya Population and Housing Census, a parliamentary committee has heard.

The revelation emerged yesterday at a meeting between KNBS officials with the National Assembly’s Public Investments Committee, where signatures of the Sh18 million beneficiaries were not provided, yet the money was spent.
