Introduction
When Sangoi does good things for the people of Kutula she is paid with leadership and love by the people. King Kutula was also loved by his people because he was good. Lacuna is inhuman and corrupt, and he oppresses the people. He too gets his dues accordingly. Life, therefore, has a way of paying back our actions, be they good or bad.
Illustrations
The old king treated the people well. He did not want the people to live in debt and he did not work with the foreigners to take loans. In turn, the people loved him and respected him. The people love Sangoi and during the commemoration they shout down Lacuna and ask Sangoi to be their rightful leader. Lacuna forces the people to acknowledge him as their leader. He forces the school children to sing his praises yet he knows that the people do not like him. Eventually they choose her to lead them into rebelling against
Lacuna Kasoo as she is a good leader. Lacuna Kasoo takes loans and makes the people pay very high taxes, He oppresses them and uses martial law to rule them as he is the commander-in-chief. He puts people who are illiterate in the offices just because they are his clansmen. In the end the same people turn against him. The people rebel against him and he is removed from the throne and detained with his leaders. They pay for their bad deeds. Lacuna confines Lulu because he wants to marry her by force. She refuses to marry him, when she is set free she slaps him for confining her against her wishes for one month.
Lacuna works with Robert and Goldstein to oppress the people financially. Robert and Goldstein give Lacuna loans totaling one hundred and twenty-two billion shillings. The people are forced to pay high taxes to repay the loans. In the end the people rebel against Lacuna and dethrone him. Robert and Goldstein are first detained and later deported from Kutula.
Conclusion
Lacuna, Robert and Goldstein have oppressed the people for too long for their own selfish gains. In the end they are the losers and Lacuna is confined with his leaders as the people are led by the leader of their choice.
