The Uganda National Bureau of Statistics (Ubos) has pulled down from its website the main report for the 2024 National Population and Housing Census.
The move follows public outcry over contradicting population figures released on Thursday last week that wrongly showed the population of Acholi as dropping from 2,131,443 to 1,941,913, while it displayed the Bagisu population as falling from 2,390,975 to 2,096,149.
The report sparked public debate on social media, radio and television platforms, raising questions about the authenticity of the report and whether it could have been fiddled, or what crises could have befallen the two tribes in the last 10 years.
The report showed the populations of all tribes in the country shooting upwards.
