He is dictatorial and intolerant
He leads Kafira with an iron fist and he is not ready to seek other people’s opinions. A few years of his rule has seen many imprisoned for expressing their opinion and others assassinated for the same. Boss is feared by his subjects and his advisors alike. This fear is expressed by Tumbo when preparing for the rehearsal.He extents this intolerance even to his family. When his wife protests that he had tried to have sex with Regina, Boss locks her up.
Boss is corrupt
He engages in various forms of corrupt activities including nepotism, abuse of office and stealing of public property. Boss came to power through a military coup. He thereafter uses the military and police to preserve his power therefore denying citizens of Kafira the chance to elect their leaders. He has surrounded himself with relatives and cronies who are holding powerful government offices despite being incompetent to hold. Tumbo and Mulili are good examples. He allocates public property to his cronies in order to earn their loyalty. In Mulili’s case he is allocated land for being loyal to Boss. Boss uses the powers of his offices to benefit and protect himself. He detains and eliminates people who differ with his opinions, for instance Mosese and Adika.
Mulili reveals that Boss is hiding property in foreign nations which may have been acquired illegally by Boss.
He tries to have sex with Regina in exchange for her brother’s freedom. When Regina refuses Boss tries to rape her.
Unpatriotic
It is evident that Boss does not have Kafira’s best interest at heart. Instead he is concerned with enriching himself and protecting his power. He has swamped Kafira with expatriates at the expense of citizens of Kafira. He also hides money in foreign banks.
He is immoral
Tumbo reveals that Boss has a weakness for women. This is more evident when he attempts to rape Regina.
