The play exposes several instances of corruption.This hinders the economic progress of the state.Some of these instances are discussed below.
Boss uses state resources to award his confidants. Mulili,his cousin is a soldier,but is promised many acres of land and drags down the state economy.
Boss influences university tender for supply of milk.The tender initially awarded Kabito is cancelled and awarded Mulili since he is a cousin to Boss.Besides boss ensures that he is put in the entertainment committee,though he knows nothing.This kind of corruption leaves the state in the hands of a few people (relative to boss) while the rest of the citizens remain poor.
The government officers charged with various responsibilities are more interested in the potato they get,rather than the services they render. Kabito,Nicodemo ,Tumbo and Mulili show their state visit entertainment committee.They ask for what they would be paid per day before any serious issue is discussed they want more working days.This system of less work and more pay results in low production thus retardation of development.
Tumbo, the chairman of state visit entertainment committee declares Jusper the winner of the play writing competition but the actual competition is never held,He promises Jusper and Regina one third of the money allocated for the competition while the other two thirds would be used to put records straight.This action denies other responsible contestants the opportunity to participate the benefit leaving chances to a few individuals.
The government employs expatriates.Boss brings three hundred more expatriate personnel when the university students protests.Most of the available opportunities are therefore taken up by foreigners .The influx of expatriate personnel has resulted in unemployment of the citizens .The state produces professionals but they cannot get employment.
Corruption as depicted in the play has resulted in efficiency ,unemployment and low production,thus a major retardation to development.It is therefore a vice that should be avoided in leadership.
