Bad leaders are most of the time egocentric,corrupt and greedy.These leaders always lead to the down fall of the countries .It is not different in Francis Imbuga's Betrayal in the city Where the leaders have greatly contributed to Kafira's downfall.
Mulili is one such leader.His corrupt trait makes him have the milk tender which was initially Kabito's. He manipulates Boss into giving him the tender by lying to Boss about Kabito and later,he has him killed.He is also greedy for wealth to an extent that he is ready to do anything to get the vast land promised to him by Boss.This indeed is a quick way to a nations downfall.
Boss who is Kafira's top most leaders hires expatriates to take up lecturing jobs which causes university students to go on strike since there are qualified citizens who are jobless in Kafira. To hit back,he gets more expatriates.His greed is portrayed by the fact that he has stashed money in foreign accounts.These traits contribute to a fall of Kafira.
Tumbo,a top government official is also corrupt,which leads him to let Jusper write the play without having a competition to get a winner as was required to.He later says that rest of the money would be used to set the records straight.This is greed at its best beside corruption which is a recipe for country's fall.
Nicodemo 's act of planting drugs in Mosese's car is corrupt indeed,especially when it is meant to improve an innocent person leading into being jailed just to silent and punish him for no good reason.After the announcement of Kabito's death,he asks if that day sitting allowances could be paid if they called off the meeting.
Askari portrays corrupt traits when he says that he gave tea to Jere who did not belong to his tribe.He goes further to say that one needs a tall relative to get anything these days,an indication of the level of corruption which has brought this country to its knees.
Indeed leaders who are egocentric,corrupt and greedy lead to the downfall of a nation as has been seen in Kafira. Boss and his government officials have contributed a great deal to the state of Kafira.
