Migori Governor Zachary Okoth Obado, has vowed to storm Migingo Island over harassment of Kenyans by Ugandan security officers.

Speaking during the third celebration of the county dialogue forum in Migori town, Mr Obado said it was wrong for Ugandan security officers to beat up the civilians and law enforcers on Kenyan soil. "This is about territorial integrity. We must protect our land, our people and our property at all costs. We are tired of begging foreigners to leave our land," an angry Obado said amid cheers from the public.
