Specks in Our Eyes
Specks in Our Eyes by Jerry Alagaoso is a satire on community leadership and administration, particularly on the law-making and oversight functions in Ama Ihite community. In this community, these roles are played by the executives of the Ama Ihite Development Union (ADU). Important as these roles are, there must be a moral high ground where caution and punishment are to be meted out and it is in this respect that the ADU is lacking. A loss of respect for the corrective institution of the ADU ensues when they take on the Principal of the Community School. The central concern of the dramatist is that corrective institutions must be credible, else they become ineffective.
