Answer Text:
Reasons why Britain used the IBEA Company to administer her possession.
a) Absence of a clear policy on the administration of colonial possessions. This gave room to the use of the company to administer the colony.
b) The company could provide cheap administrative capital that Britain had failed to raise for colonial governance.
c) There was a problem of inadequate personnel to be used in the administration of the colonies.
d) I.B.E.A.Co’s long experience in the region. The company had invested heavily in east Africa, hence making its participation in the administration of the colony inevitable.
