Inspector Godfrey is the police detective tasked with solving Mzigo, Chui, and Kimeria’s murders. Amoral but obsessed with social order, Inspector Godfrey has served in the police force both under British colonial rule and after Kenya’s independence; he hopes one day to become a private investigator, so that he can solve crimes and mysteries for anyone who can pay him. Due to his love of social stability, Inspector Godfrey loathes the politically radical labor organizer Karega and suspects him of having committed the murders. Yet he ultimately realizes Munira is the true culprit. Though impatient with Munira’s apocalyptic religiosity, Inspector Godfrey wonders whether Munira is right about the evil and corruption in Ilmorog: specifically, Inspector Godfrey suspects MP Nderi wa Riera’s tourist center is a front for sex-trafficking Kenyan girls to Europeans. On his way out of Ilmorog, he considers reporting his suspicions—but quickly convinces himself that it’s not his job to enforce morality or make trouble for important people, only to solve specific crimes. Inspector Godfrey’s amoral, apolitical social conservatism leads him to ignore the possibly sexual exploitation of Kenyan girls, which suggests that in an unjust society with unjust laws, law enforcement professionals are unlikely to bring about true justice in the course of doing their jobs.
