    About this ebook

    The Mayor of Kumbo and the Rolex Watch is a book that envisions an ultramodern city of Kumbo.Good things like good people don't stay long with us.In a morally decadent society, there may still be some good.In the mayor of Kumbo, one sees a lone traveler who entered the city from the northbound entrance; he helped transform lives and the community.When one gets up and hold the hands of others, it helps them get up too.The story of the mayor of Kumbo is a story of a man who got up and held not only the hand of an individual but also the hand of the community.An aspiring mayor of Kumbo wanted to do more than a mere dream, but the local politicians with the complacency of the national politicians took him out.The city of Kumbo was deprived of a man who had both the people and the community close to his heart.As you read through this book, you want to know, "What is man?"
