I am trying to get my hands on the final census report from the most recent census conducted in Uganda, after which i shall promptly post it to MAMBO. However, if one is to question my vehement refusal to accept the percentages presented , one only has to look at the 1991 census figures and do an extrapolation based on national birth and death rates. NB: Currently Uganda doesnt have figures on annual migration and immigration.
