What happens to hasten Wamala's decline?
The Burdens
The Burdens
Wamala's decline begins with the dismissal from his post as Minister, and his subsequent inability to provide for his family. Sadly, rather than deal with the problem, Wamala turns to alcohol.
"………….he had found himself a minister, with all the licensed and unlicensed accessories befitting his office. The trouble is once you surprise yourself with this finding, you not only forget your former self but you also look forward to bigger surprises…..there is always an audience to cheer you until one day the axe falls and you are all alone…..”
