These are restricted ranks, and can only be obtained through special means.

Kiongozi (leader)

The leader of the tribe. The Kiongozi can be male or female, but must be a part of the royal line.

Shauri (advise)

There is always one for each faction. They are the head of their group, and act as advisers to the leader.
