evidence: Residents of Namayingo broke into celebration after the MV Sigulu made its maiden expedition to the isolated island district a year after undergoing trials on Lake Victoria. [...] MV Sigulu, a government undertaking, was constructed by JGH Marine, a Danish firm, at a cost of Shs16b to connect Sigulu and Lolwe Islands to Lugala mainland in Namayingo District. Okumu said the ferry was, upon completion, supposed to be taken to Sigulu Island as ‘an Easter gift’ from the government. "Though this time, most of the district leadership was aware of the coming of the vessel, residents weren’t. This is a very big achievement for the island. We are glad that the government has kept its promise and I am optimistic that the vessel is going to help many people," he said.
