Discussions took place at the upper echelons of the administration over how to ' provoke ' men to ' volunteer ' as porters.
The category of messengers and porters was derivative of a wider variety of ' connective ' services.
Often the caravans were formed by individuals carrying their own trade goods, and small employers who hired just a few porters each.
The transport of goods was effectuated by donkey drivers, head porters and, occasionally, bull-carts.
The kirangozi had no substantial power ; the position was more a matter of honour and status, with a few more opportunities for personal gain than were available to regular porters.
Costs of nursing and doctors' time, input from other staff (secretaries, porters), use of consumables and overheads (administration, cleaning, heating, etc.), and capital costs were allocated per bed-day.
My point is not that human porters are more efficient than draft animals at transporting goods, but that the superiority of draft animals has been overstated.
A prolonged delay in supplying guides or porters might succeed in forcing the traveller to stay the night, and provide the opportunity for more complex ceremonies to transfer semangat.
