RUMBEK, June 30 (Gurtong) –
Northern Bahr El Ghazal State has officially rejected the fifth National Population and Housing Census results.
The results were rejected last week during the official presentation last week by the South Sudan Centre for Census, Statistics and Evaluation (SSCCSE).
The meeting was attended by members of the Council of Ministers, members of the State Assembly, County commissioners, directors of various departments, youth and women groups and intellectuals from the state who unanimously and officially rejected the census results.
The state officials made it “oud and clear” that the state would not accept the census results under any circumstances and recommended a repeat of the exercise.
