Mediocrity refers to a quality that is below the expectations of the people.Boss in Betrayal in the city seems to support mediocrity by having Mulili in a senior government position in spite of his little education.
Mulili is a man who is self- centered. He wants everything to go his way.He steals the milk tender supply from Kabito because he believes that no one else should have it.At the meeting,his mediocre ideas reign high .The meeting can not begin without him and he force the members to agree that school children line up to greet the visiting head of state.
Mulili does not see the need to allow Nina and Doga go on with the shaving ceremony.He say ," ...duty to duty.."and in the real sense we know he is doing this so that he gets the acres of land and grade cattle as promised by Boss.This is plain stupid and insensitive of him to the plight of the Dogas, who have jut lost a son in the unfortunate circumstances.
Mulili due to his limited understanding of English language misunderstands issues.This is especially during the entertainment committee meeting, he disagree with Kabito over the use of the word 'primary kid'.He thinks he has been insulted and threatens Kabito with dire consequences.This incident forces Tumbo to suspend the meeting for temper to cool.
In conclusion,when the mediocre in the society are given responsibility,they mess up with everything.At first ,he denies and betrays Boss and agrees that he should be shot dead.
