Adhola people
The Adhola people, also known as ''Jopadhola'' or Badama, are an ethnic group of Uganda. They live Tororo District in Eastern Uganda and comprise about two percent of the country's total population. They speak Dhopadhola (a Luo language), which belongs to the Western Nilotic branch of the Nilo-Saharan language family. They are primarily pastoralists. The Jopadhola call this land
Padhola which, according to historian Bethwell Ogot, is an elliptic form of “Par Adhola” meaning the “place of Adhola. Adhola was the founder father of the Jopadhola. Officially, Padhola is called Budama, but according to tradition this is the Bantu (Buganda) version of “‘Widooma’ - a Jopadhola war cry: ‘You are in trouble’”. The social structure of the Jopadhola can be described as polysegmentary because there is no traditional centralized government and its organization is limited to a clan called ''Nono.'' There are over 52 clans, each with cultural practices, common ancestry and a distinct lineage.
== Jopadhola traditional justice ==
Clans reproduce their notion of an independent court called koti''' using an abridged legal doctrine of separation of powers, and partially mimicking lower level government(local councils) and judicial features. The ''koti'' conflates executive and judicial functions, furthermore, legal qualifications are largely irrelevant. The composition of the ''koti'' aims to achieve age and gender parity through the appointment of youth and women representatives. The election of office bearers is based on fulfilling social obligations to kin through meritocracy, and to protecting of the clan from evil through ritual (''chowiroki''). Dr. Maureen Owor argues that given the fact that the court and litigants are personally acquainted as kin, Jopadhola clans appear to have created an “expanded” notion of “judicial” independence- one that is culturally appropriate for their local African context.〔
