Mauritius is not a wheat growing country, but those are the COMESA, rules. He has also said that Uganda has imposed a tax of 20 per cent while Kenya has imposed a tax of 35 per cent. Has the Assistant Minister consulted with his colleague in the Ministry of Finance to make sure that these rates are equalized so that we are not disadvantaged vis-a-vis Uganda and ourselves? view
• 22 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the idea of establishing centres of excellence in various parts of this country. But would it not be prudent, and exciting, for the Ministry to start from scratch by developing one school per district and calling it a centre of excellence as opposed to taking over schools built by members of the public? view
