The coordinator of "Orgullosamente Afrodecendiente" (Proud African descendant) Eunice Meneses says that the results of the 2010  Census are not reliable, when they concern Panamanians of Afro-Caribbean descent.

In the absence of certain indicators, Meneses proposes a complementary survey, or including the question in the household survey that is conducted every year. She acknowledges that this procedure is not like a census but it wouldsat least come  closer to a more reliable figure.

Meneses said on TVN Channel 2 that the Comptroller had no political interest in supporting the campaign of African-American self-recognition. She reiterated that many of the enumerators did not follow the instructions and didn’t ask the question to all people.
