Abstract

Sakitey was made King after the death of his father on the 29th of December, 1867. The name of his mother was Dsabakuo. We read in the preceding Chapter about the testament made by the late king re his successor. Of course the elders met and appointed one Asale as their Chairman to elect a king. Asale, the Chairman, told them plainly that their late father the King- had left the stool to Christian Akutei, his beloved son, therefore they were not to keep long on this matter. They all agreed that the will must be considered powerful.
