How did both administration and drought increase social inequality in Maasai society?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Administration empowered some chiefs and drought quickly destroyed poor people's animals

Colonial administration gave authority and advantages to selected chiefs, concentrating power and resources in their hands. During repeated droughts, poorer pastoralists had fewer animals and little reserve, so they lost their herds more quickly; wealthier people could usually withstand losses better. Thus, administrative favouritism and drought together widened inequality. Exam tip: mention both special powers for chiefs and the loss of livestock among poorer pastoralists.
