• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I thank the Assistant Minister for giving a detailed and elaborate answer to this Question, Migingo Island is very visible whether it is in Kenya or Uganda.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very clear that the inflation rate in Kenya is very high. Actually, as we speak here today, the rate of inflation is at 28.2 per cent which, for a long time, we have not witnessed in this country. There must a reason to that.
