HERE IS HOW INDIRECT RULE WAS APPLIED IN UGANDA AND KENYA

The British used the local chiefs in the counties, sub-counties, parishes, sub parishes and villages.

The British divided their colony into provinces, districts, counties and many smaller units.

Many societies signed treaties that made it acceptable for them to be under the British rule.
It was also applied by using collaborators who were mainly Baganda like Semei Kakungulu, who spread the system to other areas.
The chiefs who assisted the British were given programs like supervising road construction, collecting taxes and so on.
In areas where people resisted like Bunyoro, Karamoja, Northern Uganda and the Nandi land, force was used.
Communication lines were constructed to reach rebellious areas.

The Chartered companies were also used.
In Kenya most white settlers were used to administer on behalf of the British.
The missionaries too, were used to implement indirect rule.
The colonial army and police were recruited from among the Africans to handle rebellious communities.
The local councils were put in place in other areas and the Buganda system of rule was introduced to ease leadership.
Uncooperative chiefs like Rwot Awich of Payiira in Acholi land, was removed from power.
Administrative headquarters were also established to handle administration, for example Mombasa, Nairobi and Entebbe.
