Kuku People - Administrative Authority System

Administrative Authority System

Kuku have no centralized form of administrative authority. Their administrative system emerges from bottom to top as follows:

1. Head of the Family – Husband (Monye Mede)
2. Head of the Clan – Elder man in the Clan (Matat lo Köji)
3. Head of the Village – Village Chief (Matat lo Gwoke)
4. Head of the Area – Area Chief (Matat lo Paranet)
5. Head of the Tribe – Head Chief (Matat lo Jur) highest authority man in the tribe

With their strong belief in God and God's works through their ancestors, the Kuku tribe has their chiefs associated with water. These chiefs are hence, responsible for rain controls during the crop growing seasons of the year.
