    "content": "Constitution was promulgated in 2010, it would clearly have all the nautical values and latitudes that were necessary to locate where our territories lie and within which boundaries. The exercise was done with the full knowledge of the historical background that included the colonial and post-colonial era. It is important to note that the Migingo Island occupies 2,000 square meters. It is the third largest island in the world in terms of population. It has a population density of more than 65,500 people per square kilometre. It occupies a very important commercial centre for our people. If it was just a rock, we might have thought otherwise. However, human beings occupy that island. Those are Kenyans who eke out a living through exploitation of marine products such as fish, which are in plenty in that region. Migingo is the hibernating centre for all the fish species. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is painful to note that when you are in Homa Bay, you can visualize the Migingo Island. However, somebody has to sail from Entebbe to Migingo, which is more than 200 kilometres away. In 1952 while I was schooling in Uganda, I took a steamship from Kisumu to Port Bell, and then took a train from Port Bell to Kampala. It took us a whole night and half of the afternoon to get to Port Bell from Kisumu."
