President Museveni jets in for two-day State visit in Mombasa

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has arrived in Kenya for a two-day State visit in Mombasa.

Museveni was received by President Uhuru Kenyatta at the Moi International Airport in Mombasa where State reception ceremonies were conducted.

In a statement issued Monday evening, State House spokesperson Kanze Dena said the two leaders would proceed to State House Mombasa for bilateral talks with their respective delegations before conducting a joint press briefing.

During the visit, President Museveni will tour the Port of Mombasa together with his host, President Kenyatta.

This as Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Monica Juma and her Ugandan counterpart Sam Kutesa say they already have timelines on when and how to resolve the Migingo Island matter.

The Migingo tussle has been a bone of contention between the two countries which claim ownership to the small island that houses 1000 people drawn from the two countries.

The dispute for the Island has dragged on since 2004.
