To betray is to be disloyal to a person,one's nation,organisation and belief. The play Betrayal in the city is full of different types of betrayal.
Mulili and Jere are sent out to go and stop the old couples Nina and Doga from going on with the shaving ceremony for their son Adika. We are that they come with a signed government order to stop the shaving ceremony. In the incidence,Jere disagrees with Mulili on realizing that Doga and his father shared the same knife during circumcision and so he decides to support the old couple which Mulili disapproves off. Later Mulili tells Jere of dire consequences and for sure later Jere lands in prison.
Political betrayal is seen when Chagaga kills Adika, Traditions highly condemn shedding of a kinsman blood.Again political betrayal is seen when the authorities in Kafira use power to perpetuate their rule and loot public coffers to enrich themselves at the expense of the public.Such people include Boss,Tumbo,Nicodemo and Kabito.
Boss uses state resources to reward his spy's with tenders and other benefits for helping him hold on to power.His regime overlooks people like Nina and Doga and eliminates such people like Adika and Kabito instead of protecting them. Mosese capture this betrayal and says,".......for years we waited for the kingdom of heaven and when they said it had come,our kingdom had come last,but not no,it was an illusion."
The general public betrayed the university students who demonstrated against injustice leading to the death of Adika. We are told that some members of the public threw insults at them while the beggars said that the students were wasting time.
Betrayal thus is associated with a few individuals who pull Kafira behind.

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.
a)Place this excerpt in its immediate context(4 marks)
b)"At least she is from the country."Who is the 'she' referred to in this excerpt(2 marks)
c)"She felt kind of sorry for mark."Make notes on why Elizabeth feels sorry for her husband(4 marks)
d) Identify instances of use of irony in this excerpt(4 marks)
e)It is apparent that Mark is uncomfortable with the choices made by his children.Cite evidence in this excerpt to support this statement.
f)Describe the character of mark and Becky in this excerpt
g)Mention and illustrate any two themes in this excerpt(4 marks)
h)"First there had been Becky who had left home unceremoniously only to return with a white man in tow."(Rewrite beginning:Not only......)
