Every few days, John Mabberi-Mudonyi gets a call that jolts him out of bed and into the Kimmirut hamlet office where he works as the senior administrative officer.
The problem? CBC Radio is off the air.
The solution? Hitting refresh on a laptop that streams the radio signal off the internet and into the community s rebroadcaster. I started doing it and now there is an expectation in the community that I have to do it, Mabberi-Mudonyi said with a laugh. Sometimes I come in at four in the morning.
