Cowards of the Republic
Synopsis
Cowards of the Republic is a play by Dr. Jean Claude Zigama and Mr. Bonface Otieno, first published in 2023. Unlike many others, this play investigates contemporary tragedies of political unrest, coups d’état and politically aligned injustices on innocent members of a nation. It connects the colonial periods while focusing on modern political experiences through a powerful juxtaposition. Roughly five decades after independence, the Republic state is still characterised by an oligarchic form of governance where a relatively small privileged class comprised of those who had been presumed best gratified to rule continues to jeopardise the government’s affairs as well as the general welfare of the people of the republic.
