7 Kitidingo or konsingbalo is a Mandinka term that connotes someone in the traditional structure
associated with the application of law and justice. They are emissaries to the traditional rulers who
execute the directives from the chief or the alkalo in a given community. During the colonial period
such people were used by the colonialists to execute their colonial projects. Some of them rose to
the positions of chiefs when there was conflict between the ruling class and the colonialists.
