The East African country’s population grew from 44.9 million in 2012 to more than 60 million, according to the census carried out earlier this year, with Hassan saying the numbers reflected an annual increase of 3.2 percent. 

With a larger population, more efficiency is needed to match “with the current challenges and current numbers” the president said. 

“Such population might not be a big deal for a huge country like ours”, the President said, “but it’s a burden when it comes to allocating resources and delivering social services”.
