.jpeg "The Samaritan Act 2 Scene 2 Notes")
The school principal, Narine is seated in the boardroom; Shalini, the secretary informs her that Nicole has come to see her. The principal apologises to Nicole for interfering with her schedule and informs her that Mayor Mossi is on his way to see her, possibly to follow her on his directive of stopping the National launch of the Samaritan app. Nicole asks the principal if she has communicated the message from the minister of education on the matter to the Mayor’s office. She says she did send it.
The principal says that the App has sent shock waves across the municipality and many leaders and other people are in panic, thus she feels that the App is dangerous and Nicole needs to find a way of shutting it down.
Nicole says that people think she is behind the App’s because she is in charge of innovation and a mentored two students. The Mayor pays a visit to Nicole to convince her into deleting the damaging information about him on the App. Ms Nicole is adamant and says she doesn’t own the App or have any rights as it was being handled from the national level and she could do nothing about it. The Mayor distances himself from most of the blame and accusations mentioned in The Samaritan. He points out various instances of misappropriation of public resources, embezzlement of funds and the shoddy work done by contractors which is as a result of rogue leadership in the municipality.
Nicole reminds him as being guilty for he is for most of the crimes done under his watch as he has not rebuked or sued any of the leaders he claims to be involved in such matters. The Mayor accesses Nicole for being politically motivated and she was being used by politicians to fight him through The Samaritan.
