Migingo Island has been a centre of dispute between Uganda and Kenya with each claiming ownership. Migori Governor Okoth Obado on 8th October 2015 visited the Island
This is what the governor said
Today, I toured Migingo and Ugingo Islands of Lake Victoria. I witnessed the suffering of our people, police and also realised the potential of the Island. My goververnment is planning to make the Island a mordern urban centre. We shall establish an ECDE centre ,Health facility,toilets and streetlights in this small town. We are also working with the National Government to establish a police post with mordern office structures and provide a speed boat to the security team on the island to help boost the security of the Islands.
Thank you and May God Bless you all.
