The council as discussed earlier is the supreme authority in the village. Its main role is to make rules for the welfare and security of villagers. The same authority also enforces the rules and adjudicates on village members who are accused of violating those rules. It also acts as a mediator to resolve family disputes in the village, especially amongst families who are going through a dispute over land or titles that is before the Lands and Titles Court. This council role of the village remains intact at present and it is viewed as one of the pillars for stability at the village and national levels.
