About Us

The Statistical Society of Kenya (SSK) is registered under the laws of Kenya as the
national Statistical Society of Kenya. It was registered in August 2008, initially as the Kenya National Statistical Society (KNSS) and started operations
under interim officials until November 2012, when the annual general meeting elected the
inaugural office bearers. The society is a professional body that brings together statisticians
and users of statistics in the country. Disciplines such as Mathematics, Biometry, Statistical
modelling, Biostatistics, Social Statistics, Econometrics, Educational statistics, Entomology,
Demography, Operations Research, Geostatistics, Sample survey, Design of Experiments,
Financial modelling, and Actuarial Science are examples of disciplines that engage a lot of
statistics and hence graduates of such disciplines are eligible for membership in KNSS. The
main objective of the KNSS is to promote the understanding, teaching, research, application,
and good practice of statistics, statistical theory, and methods in all areas under the motto
“Setting benchmarks in Statistical sanity”.
