The girl child is a very important child in the society.She plays major roles but also boys are important .
The girl child is excluded in leadership roles.Only boys can become chiefs.Chief Owour Kembo became chief after the death of his father chief K'agina, Obura was being taught by his father on how to become a chief by first getting married,When chief Owour Kembo died and Obura died,their was no one to become the chief despite the fact that there were girls in that homestead,Akoko herself,and even Nyabera, and so Otieno sat on the stool arrogantly.Girls were looked at as a source of wealth.Chief Gogni had more daughters who brought more wealth to his home staed.
Girl are not involved in deciding whom they should marry. Akoko watches the goings n in her fathers simba through a chink in her mother's hut.She is only invited to the goings on in the simba for the husband to be " to see what he is getting. "
