Budalang'i Constituency
Budalang'i is one of four constituencies in Busia, Western Province. It was formerly Bunyala (1988 - 1997) and before that Busia South (1969 - 1988) only to be renamed Budalang'i in 1997. At independence in 1963 it was called Ruwamba. The first MP was James Nakhwanga Osogo who rose to become minister for commerce and industry in his political career. Besides witnessing some of the most memorable epic political duels between fat-egoed political giants in the name of James Osogo and the flamboyant Peter Habenga Okondo (deceased), the main issue that puts Budalang'i firmly in the national news is floods which has taken on something of an annual ritual when the banks of Nzoia River bursts through the hapless dykes unleashing its fury on local people occasioning disease, malnutrition, homelessness and death.
