Kotma was a short form of court messengers, Africans who were messengers for the white men's authority. Their uniform consisted of ash coloured shorts, for which they were derided, being called "Ashy-buttocks". They served as prison guards, and were looked down upon for being foreigners, slave to the white man's will, and for subjugating other villagers due to unjust laws.
In "Things Fall Apart," the guards and messengers treat the men of Umuofia badly due to their roles as agents of colonial authority, which often involves exerting power over the local populace. This mistreatment reflects the broader themes of oppression and cultural clash, as the colonial forces disregard the customs and dignity of the Igbo people. Additionally, the guards' actions may stem from their own need to assert dominance in a situation where they feel empowered, further deepening the divide between the colonizers and the indigenous community.
