A major objection to the Indirect Rule system was the administration through illiterate heads. Indirect rule was a system of governance introduced by the British in their colonial territories in Africa. The system involved ruling through local traditional leaders who were given powers to rule on behalf of the colonial masters. However, these traditional leaders were often illiterate and lacked the necessary skills to govern effectively, leading to poor governance and administration. The objection to the Indirect Rule system was that governance should be carried out by competent and educated individuals who would be better equipped to manage the affairs of the people.
