ANOTHER Bastard Seed outlines a lifestyle of superstitions, treachery and intrigue mixed with both godly and ungodly beliefs, with no little mention of clan gatherings, rapes, innocent deaths and to quite a few Ibandans, religious festivities and merry-making. Under these complex conditions, a boy is born and nurtured to manhood in a very poor family by a single mother! He is none other than the Reverend Abel Zontori who manages to support his ailing crippled mother, Nyweza ¿ incidentally, she passeson quite early in life ¿ and his spoilt sister, Nyomyo, despite the impoverished state in which he grows up. He eventually meets his long-lost father, Murogo, banished from the village for spearing his neighbour to death some twenty years back. This was animmutable fact guarded jealously by Zontori¿s mother! There are misunderstandings and disagreements between father and son regarding the right girl to marry, but Zontori insists on Nyowe! She kicks the bucket during her second delivery, leaving behind a pre-mature albino baby-sister to her first-born son, Gwentaama, the Harelip!

Another Banana Republic is an autobiography, not fiction, but a true life account of Edgar Bagayana of the 3B Series fame, author of Another Bogus Marriage. After school, he joined Grindlays Bank [now Stanbic Bank Uganda Ltd.] in 1972 at a clerical level and rose through the ranks to become a senior manager, eleven years later, before opting for voluntary early retirement in 1997. Later, in 2003, as Associate Consultant, his contract to train M/s. Crane Bank members of staff was sabotaged and cancelled prematurely. As manager of a remote village bank [2003-2008], he raised standards. He stepped on people¿s toes. He was overthrown and languished in police cells for four days. No matter how one ¿measures¿ the author¿s life, the unfortunate outcome has always been hard work that is not recognised and rewarded accordingly here on earth, as outlined in Another Banana Republic!
