As a patriotic Kenyan, I plan to boycott the local version of the walk-to-work campaign by driving my "LED lantern"-based Toyota after enjoying breakfast cooked on an LED lantern-powered oven.... ;-) <div><br></div>
<div>Dr. Ndemo, have you considered leading by example by boycotting the use of your tax-payer fueled Mercedes; and instead cycle to that Ministry office in solidarity with wananchi? Just get fellow technocrats on-board and am sure your boss & his colleagues in Cabinet will take the necessary action.<div>

Washington,<br>
The Ugandans are simply using inflation as a proxy to fight President<br>
Museveni. We went through this in the 90's.<br>
<br>
Our consumer activists are acting selectively on the issue of inflation.<br>
I wish we spend more time on acting positively in such difficult times.<br>
Let me explain: A young man by the name Evans Wandago invents a Solar<br>
Powered LED Lantern and wins the Gorbachev Innovation Award along with Ted<br>
Turner and Sir Berns Lee. This Lantern is a sabsititute to some of our<br>
Energy requirements.<br>
<br>
I had hoped the consumer association will educate Kenyans to boycot fuel<br>
and support the Kenyan Innovation. This will have meant that the entire<br>
Africa will follow. Making a billion lanterns will mean an industry that<br>
will create as much as 100,000 jobs. We should have lobied Kenyans to<br>
invest in this new venture instead of buying plots and in the process. We<br>
failed on this and blamed the Government on a global crisis. Soon the<br>
Chinese would mass produce the Lantern and give us concetional credit to<br>
purchase our invention. Let us think positive and make our land a better<br>
place to live in. There is no Government that is not gribbed in this<br>
inflation mess. We have a chance to lead the world.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
<br>
Ndemo.<br>
