What were the causes of the Akamba collaboration with the British during the colonial rule in Kenya?
Answer:
- The defeat of Mwatu wa Ngoma who led the Akamba resistance made the Akamba fear the British
military.
- The Akamba traders collaborated with the British to enrich themselves.
- The 1899 famine in Ukambani made them weak and vulnerable to Europeans power.
- The British were very harsh and ruthless in their attacks and this scared the Akamba warriors.
