This chapter assesses the contextual relevance and significance of the TTA, and its role in mobilizing ethnic identity for political and social gain. Supporters of the TTA believed it played a big role in uplifting Temne catchet, and providing local services for constituents, such as giving financial assistance to indigent subjects, providing temporal accommodation for impecunious immigrants and impoverished subjects, and performing juridical functions. In spite of this, like other tribal administrations, the TTA failed to provide tangible benefits for the Temne community. Clearly, the TTA failed to provide educational opportunities, such as elementary and middle schools, vocational or tertiary training centers, and institutionalized healthcare facilities and community centers. Despite the fundamental weakness of the TTA and other tribal administrations, it is reasonable to note that local administrations in the colony served as auxiliaries to the colonial establishment, and they all engaged in activities that promoted colonial governance.
