Inspector General of police Joseph has assured the country that the disputed Migingo Island is safe for Kenyans
According to Boinnet, the island is peaceful due to the existing good working relationship between Kenyan police officers and their Ugandan counterparts guarding the fish-rich Lake Victoria Island.

Boinnet's sentiments were echoed by Kayihura who stated that his government is doing everything to ensure the island's residents cp-exited in peace.
The two police bosses further appealed to fishermen from the island to seek proper documentations when going for deep sea fishing.
