CABINET NOTES: The Cabinet invited a team of Ministry of Finance officials to address it on revenues and expenditures in the month of January 2025. The team comprised the Financial Secretary, the Accountant General, the Debt Manager, the Inland Revenue Department, the Customs and Excise Division and the Chief Statistician.
The first presentation was made by the Chief Statistician who addressed the issue of the 2025 Population Census. The Division will hire as many as 600 enumerators so that they can gather the information from households across the country; the enumerators will be identified by photo badges. Eighteen questions are to be put to the householders; the process will be modernized by using electronic tablets to record the data — as opposed to using pen and paper.

Accuracy is to be enabled by the utilization of geo-location technology. The collation of the data will subsequently be entered and aggregated by a phalanx of input clerks. The Cabinet proposed that an increase of the number of enumerators and shorter interviews will likely result in the early completion of the Census; the undertaking requires contact with each and every household.
It was agreed that a public awareness campaign be undertaken, beginning immediately; that advertisements across new and old media are also to begin immediately; and, that the Statistics Division is not to operate within a silo.
