Kosiya Kifefe

Kosiya Kifefe by Arthur Gakwandi is a satirical novel that offers a biting, often humorous critique of post-independence African society and politics. The story follows the ambitious titular character, Kosiya Kifefe, as he navigates the complex and corrupt labyrinth of bureaucracy in the fictional nation of Bwindi. Kifefe’s journey from a small village to a high-ranking government position exposes the profound disconnect between the ideals of independence and the grim reality of greed and incompetence. Gakwandi uses sharp wit and realism to chronicle the political disillusionment that follows the promise of self-rule.
