Former fishermen Daniel Nailonga and Johny Nefungo, retrenched due to the Fishrot corruption scandal, shared how this crisis has severely impacted their lives.
They described feelings of division, poverty, loneliness, depression, homelessness, and high blood pressure.
The emotional toll, they say, has also resulted in frustrations that contribute to gender-based violence (GBV).
Tragically, some fishermen have since committed suicide.
The two fishermen were speaking during the launch of the 2nd report on the human rights impacts of the Fishrot scandal by IPPR.
