Throughout the play, the elite come out as a powerful force for changing the society. The students and their lecturers play an important role in liberating the society from tyranny. Jusper and Mosese are good examples.
The university students are at the fore front in fighting for human rights.They demonstrate against the killing of Adika,one of them,in a protest against the influx of expatriates in the country amongst other issues.
The university students' role as masters of truth and justice is seen when Boss asks Jusper who appointed him spokesman of truth and justice.
The intellectuals play a crucial role in bringing about change in Kafira. Mosese is depicted as the patron of the struggle.When we first encounter him in jail,he is a disillusioned Philosopher who has turned him back to the world.This means that he has lost all his hope for the future.His hidden desire to exercise his hidden desire for politics is seen at the end of the play.He has already realized the power of the gun and is now ready to consolidate the power of the brain.
It is largely through the power of the elite that we are finally able to see change in Kafira. The Elite stage a play that exploits the inefficiency and corruption in the country,to mark the beginning of a new era.
The writer has used the elite to bring about change in Kafira by clearly showing that if the destiny of the country is left in the hands of the corrupt,selfish and cruel leaders like Mulili it will go to the dogs.

- Read the extract below and answer the question that follow(Solved)
Read the extract below and answer the question that follow
"At least she is from the country,"he said sounding a bit odd.She looked at him and them lowered her eyes to the latter.It was characteristically Aoro-brief and to the point.She felt kind of sorry for Mark.First there had been Becky who had left home unceremoniously only to return with a white man in tow.A very nice man but apparently not nice enough for Becky.He had found out that she was having an affair during his trips abroad and had sued for a divorce.Now she was living alone with the children,financially well off,but unhappy.
It was one thing to enjoy the thrills of an affair,but a different thing altogether to have a carte blanche to do exactly as you pleased.John had been terribly hurt of course and Mark had been furious with her.
Then Tony had joined priesthood-Mark resisted it at first but recently during Tony's ordination he had been full of pride for his son-whose face had shoe joy and youthful dedication.
Vera's case had been the hardest to accept.Mark thought of the world of Vera,and declared that she wanted to join the catholic Prelature of Opus Dei as a non-marrying member.It didn't help that Mark had never heard the Opus Dei and could not understand why Vera could not Marry.But he had eventually accepted because he loved her.Because she looked so happy,so radiant.Anything that could bring such joy and serenity could not be that bad.It was a pity though that she did not wear a veil or a habit.That way he could at least have bragged about her a little to his friends.His children were a source of great envy to his less lucky friends.Vera for one was a fully qualified electronics expert and had a lucrative job in the city with a large salary and all sorts of benefits.Women like that tend to marry the most amazing wimps and Mark had held his breath in fear.But in the end all Vera wanted was to dedicate her life and work to God,and there was no turning back.
So Elizabeth secretly hoped that Aoro would bring home a nice girl-naturally a luo like himself - who would proceed to have many children all of ordinary black colour.
