Mulili and Jere are government officials.When they are sent to stop Nina and Doga from the shaving ceremony,they disagree as Jere wants it performed. Jere feels that it should be kept a secret by both them as Mulili had earlier helped Mustafa to escape and Jere had kept silent.But Mulili tells the boss of this little secret and Jere ends up in jail. Jere had also earlier threatened to shoot Mulili.

Mulili and Kabito are in the same entertainment committee as the boss view them as his supporters. Kabito refers to Mulili as a thief and later on Mulili misreports him to the Boss. Mulili reports to the boss that he has robbed him of the milk tender,he says Boss had ruined the economy among other accussations leading to the Boss eliminating a loyal and hardworking officer. Mulili also gets the milk tender at the expense of Kabito.

Mulili is said to be a close cousin to Boss and his eye and ear on the ground,he even puts him on various committees as his spy and close loyal friend and cousin.But during the play within a play when the Boss is outwitted and fixed,Mulili says he is a distant cousin and asserts that he should be shot for engaging in so many ills among them ruining the economy of Kafira,and the death of Kabito.

Jusper,Jere,Mosese versus Boss would want the Boss to take roles and give them actual gun props instead of gun props only to turn against him.They get excited for the achievement of holding Boss at ransom and want to shoot Mulili who has attended the dress rehearsal.

Kabito and Nicodemo seem close friends even discussing the loss of milk tender but the death of Kabito,Nicodemo does not want to lose allowance for the day.He asks if the day will be counted.
