entry 33

"They guarded the prison, which was full of men who offended against the white man's law. Some of these prisoners had thrown away their twins and some had molested the Christians. They were beaten in the prison by the kotma and made to work every morning clearing the government compound and fetching wood for the white commissioner and the court messengers." p.g. 175

This part was kind of annoying because the Christians just come in, take land, and the tribes let them stay there even though they don't want them there. Then on top of all that they decide to force the villagers under there laws. That is not fair because they have different customs so the villagers are being punished for following their own laws. There will definitely be blood in the end for this. You can't just treat people like dirt and expect them to except it quietly.
