The Stolen Gift

The Stolen Gift offers hope where there is despair and hopelessness. The political climate of the world is bleak but in this book you realise one man's selfless conrage to redeem the unredeemable. Every man fights for their rights and basic existence from the rank and file to politicians. We are in this world to fulfil our desires rather than the desires of the world. Kagaga is a prophet of hope who places society first rather than advance his ideas and ideals. He is not a fanatic or stalwart in any sense of the word. He believes mankind can advance from the deep and bottomless pit that the world has dug for itself. It is man's responsibility to get out of this pit. The book shows how bereft are the political elite that offer no political change but are instead corrupt and bigotted. In Kagaga we see the light of the world truly shining where there is peach darkness.

Africa comes out fighting hard from a land of suffering to a place where all individuals can excel. Mulili the politician acts deceitfully to have an opportunity to lead his people. He makes empty promises and pledges at the cost and expense of his people's suffering. Kagaga offers people an opportunity, for mankind to lead themselves out of all calamities. The book is a critique and the author is angry with the world. Democracy is an idea that must be challenged in order to empower all people, we all are imprisoned by democracy and we are enslaved by it. Democracy fails to deliver in this book and is found wanting and it is a bankrupt idea to say that all problems of mankind will be sorted out by democracy. Kagaga interestingly advises people to lead themselves and to free themselves from the clucthes of democracy. Kagaga comes up with various dieas to free society from the delusions of democracy. Mankind is not free but is blind to alternative ideas. In the book we find that before the elections people had thought that all their problems would disappear and they would be freed. They place their hope in a politician to determine their lives and one man (a politician) cannot look after the majority. Kagaga stresses that politicians are playing God. Kagaga knows that mankind has placed its hope in democracy that marginalizes society.
