Chief the Honorable Minister

Two years after independence, an idealistic schoolmaster is unexpectedly made Minister of Works and drawn into a political world of patronage, corruption, and party loyalty.

Chief the Honorable Minister follows an inexperienced schoolmaster thrust into cabinet government, where principle quickly collides with patronage, corruption, and the demands of party loyalty. First published in 1970, the novel remains a pointed satire of political idealism and public office.
