The Speaker of Parliament, RT. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin has admonished Ghanaians to participate in the 2021 Population and Housing Census (PHS).
He also pledged the support of the legislature to the 2021 Population and Housing Census.
He made the remarks when officials from the Ghana Statistical Service went to enumerate him and his household.
The Speaker, who was among the first personalities to be counted in the exercise on Monday morning, said the exercise is necessary for planning, budgeting, and coordination of state response to the challenges facing the development of the country.
“The population and housing census is so critical to survival – quality of life – and the development of the country. I, therefore, call on everybody to stand up and be counted,” he said.
Speaker Bagbin said Members of Parliament (MPs) would be deployed to their various constituencies to actively participate, mobilize, educate and sensitize their constituents on the ongoing exercise.
