In the text Betrayal in the city,the masses go through a lot of tribulations due to maladministration and poor leadership.

The people of Kafira suffer unfair incarcerations in jail.This is seen through Mosese who is jailed for possession of opium yet all he had done was to talk against injustice and demand for the freedom of speech during Adika's funeral.While in jail he is caned and put in isolated cell.This suffering is due to bad leadership in Kafira.

The citizens suffer political assassinations .When Kabito differs with Mulili during the entertainment committee meeting,he sets him up to Boss then he is killed. Doga and Nina after defying the government order that they should not continue with the shaving ceremony are also killed.All these culminate from the killing of Adika and Chagaga,and are as a result of poor governance in Kafira.

The people suffer from unemployment.Poor governance leads to the government employing expatriates who come to take up jobs meants for the locals.These leads to unemployment.

In conclusion,the people in high offices in Kafira are responsible for the suffering of innocent people.Their misrule makes the people go through pain and suffering.
