If you read my post on facebook early this week, am sure that you are aware of the series that i will be writing for the reminent of the year under the title 'Thinking Positively' .  These articles will be short and precise designed to suit you all the readers of this blog who are extremely busy and dont have time for long articles.  So tighten your seat belts as you join me on this journey of Thinking Positively.  Over a time, especially from personal experience, i have discovered that in life people fail not because they lack the ability and the attributes to succeed, but for the lack of whole heartedness.

Currently, Uganda’s annual headline inflation stands at 16 per cent moving from 14.1 per cent in April 2011. The Uganda Bureau of Statistics said yesterday that this is the highest inflation rate Uganda has seen since May 1994 when the annual inflation was 16.2 per cent. “Commodity food prices have continued to be the main driver of inflation in the country due to reduced supply and increased demand for food items,” said Mr Vicente Nsubuga Musoke, the principal statistician-price statistics, while releasing the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May 2011. Annual food inflation increased from 39.3 in April to 44.1 in May. The annual core inflation excludes food crops from the CPI and it is also what government uses to determine the overall inflation rate. The annual core inflation rose to 11.3 per cent in May up fromApr...
