A home in Budalang'i with water in the compound. [Ignatius Odanga, Standard]
When Josphat Agola breathed his last early this year in the wake of the Budalang’i floods, thanks to water backflow from Lake Victoria, it added to his family’s misery.
The waters had made them move to makeshift homes on high grounds, others to IDP camps and now their sole breadwinner (a fisherman) was dead and they had no place to bury him in line with the Abanyala customs.
