Elders from both sides settle the dispute however,when Otieno plunders her property,Akoko makes history by taking a pioneering journey to Kisumu to seek Justice from the Jorochere,through her the whole Sakwa experiences the impact of the white man's rule.
Traditional worship,the community believed in Were god of the rising sun.However Akoko advises Nyabera to venture into the hitherto the unknown world of Christianity.This ushers enormous changes in Akoko's lineage.
