Papua New Guinea's national census has got off to a rocky start with reports reaching RNZ Pacific that training of Census takers is still yet to be completed in part of the country and delays to the distribution of electronic tablets that were supposed to be used in the count.
Earlier this week PNG's national statistician, John Igitoi acknowledged the slow start but said counting is expected to pick up in the coming days.
The Census officially started on the 17th of June and will run up until the end of this month
RNZ Pacific Editor, Koroi Hawkins spoke with RNZ Pacific's PNG correspondent Scott Waide about the current situation.
