KIGALI (Reuters) - Rwanda's year-on-year inflation rose to 3.8 pct in September from 3.2 percent month earlier, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Tuesday. Month-on-month inflation was 1.1 percent. The rise was mainly due to food and non-alcoholic beverages, housing, water, gas and electricity, the report said.
