1. UFAHAMU

Soma makala yafuatayo kisha ujibu maswali.

Changamoto kubwa inayowakabili watu wengi katika mataifa yanayoendelea ni suala

la chakula. Suala hili linaweza kuangaliwa katika sawia mbili tofauti. Kuna tatizo

linalofungamana na uhaba wa chakula chenyewe. Uhaba huu unaweza kutokana na

utegemezi mkubwa kwa zaraa kama nyenzo kuu ya uzalishaji wa chakula.

Zaraa katika mataifa mengi hususan yanayoendelea, hutegemea mvua. Kupatikana

kwa mvua huathiriwa na mabadiliko ya tabianchi ulimwnguni. Matendo na amali za watu

kama ukataji wa miti na uchafuzi wa mazingira huwa na athari hasi kwenye tabianchi hiyo.

Mabadiliko ya tabianchi huweza kuvyaza ukama kutokana na ngambi ya mvua.

Kibinimethali kutokea wakati mafuriko yanapotokea na labda kuyasomba mazao

mashambani na kusababisha baa la njaa. Hali hizi mbili husababisha matatizo makubwa ya

chakula na kuathiri pakubwa suala zima la usalama wa chakula. Ili kuzuia uwezokano wa

kuwepo kwa shida hii, pana haja ya kuwepo kwa mikakati na sera za kuhakikisha kuna

usalama wa chakula. Kwa mfano, pana haja ya kukuza kilimo cha umwagiliaji ili kuepuka

adha inayosababishwa na ukosefu wa mvua. Kwa upande mwingine, sharti zichukuliwe

hatua mufidi za kuzuia na kupambana na athari za gharika.

285


Changamoto nyingine inahusiana na usalama wa chakula chenyewe. Chakula

kilichosibikwa na vijasumu au kwa njia nyingine ile huweza kumdhuru anayehusika. Msibiko

wa chakula unatokana na vyanzo tofauti. Mathalan uandalizi wa chakula kilichochafuliwa na

choo, kutozingatia mbeko za usafi, uandaaji wa chakula na kukiweka katika hali ya

uvuguvugu kabla ya kukipakua – hali inayochochea ukuaji wa viini na ulaji wa chakula

kisichoandaliwa vyema.

Ili kuepuka uwezekano wa kuathirika, pana haja ya kuzingatia usafi wa chakula na

uandalizi unaofaa. Fauka ya hayo, vyombo cya uandalizi view safi, kanuni za usafi zifuatwe,

upikaji na uandaaji uwe kamilifu. Hali hii isipozingatiwa, siha za raia wenyewe zitaathirika

pakubwa.

Haki za watoto na wanawake

Makamishina wa Tume za Haki za Binadamu, waandalizi, waalikwa, watoto, mabibi na mabwana. Kwa

muda mrefu kumekuwa na tofauti katika uhusiano baina ya wanajamii. Tofauti hizi zimewapelekea wanawake na

watoto kudunishwa. Udunishaji unachukua mwelekeo mbaya zaidi kama watoto ni wa kike.

Kupuuzwa kwa wanawake na watoto kuna historia ndefu. Jambo hili limepata usugu kutokana na imani

hasi zilizoota akilini mwa wanaume na hata wanawake. Rasilimali na majukumu yamegawanywa kwa misingi

inayowatabakisha wanajamii kuanzia wanaume, wanawake halafu chini kabisa watoto. Katika jamii nyingi,

wanawake na watoto wa kike hawarithi ,chochote ingawa ndio wenye mchango mkubwa katika uzalishaji mali.

Aidha mchango wao kuhusu masuala muhimu nyumbani na katika jamii hupuzwa hate kama wamesoma kutiko

waume na akina baba zao.

Inasikitish7a kuwa wanawake na watoto hawana sauti kuhusu uamuzi nyumbani. Wao hulazimishwa

kutenda wanavyoamriwa na wanaume.Kwa mfano, si ajabu mwanamke kulazimishwe kupika pombe na watoto

kusukumizwa kwenda kununua sigara. Yote haya ni kinyume cha matarajio ya Umoja wa Mataifa kuhusu haki za

binadamu.

Ili kuzuia tabia ya ‘ujuaji’, wanaume wengi hupiga marufuku redio, simu, magazeti na televisheni kwa

wanawake na watoto. Amri hii hutekelezwa vikali ill wahusika wasijifunze tabia ye kukaidi amriza wazee.

Pengine hii ndiyo sababu katika jamii fulani, neno mzee lina maana moja tu; ya wanaume waliokomaa kiumri

wale si wenawake. Hii si kweli.

Haki za binadamu ni msingi we utu. Bila haki hizo mwanadamu hawezi kutumia vipawa na uwezo wake

wa kiakili na kihisia kikamilifu.Udunishaji wa wanawake na watoto unapingana na ukweli huu. Imanipotofu

zinazoendeleza uovu huu zimejikita akilini na katika utamaduni. Zinahitaji kuondolewa. Nafurahi kuwa mmeibua

mikakati thabiti ya kulipiga vita tatizo hili. Kwa kweli, sherehe kama hizi ni muhimu sana katika kuwafumbua

macho wadau kuhusu haki za wanawake na watoto. Naamini hotuba zilizotolewa hapa zitakuwa mbegu

zitakazochipua mabadiliko katika fikra na matendo ye watu. Yafaa watu wakubali kuwa mke na watoto ni wenza

na wadau katika safari ndefu ye maisha.

Nimeona mabango, maigizo, ngoma na michoro ya waume kwa wake, wazee kwa watoto na wavulana

kwa wasichana kuhusu made hii. Ujumbe umewasilishwa wazi. Ni moyo uliofumwa kwa chuma tu ambao

hauwezi kuathiriwa na ujunibe kuhusu nafasi ya wanawake kurithi na kusikilizwa. Lakini vita vya panga

haviamuliwi kwa fimbo. Kilichobaki sasa ni kufanya utatiti wa kukusanya data kuhusu mielekeo na itikadi

zinazopingana na lengo letu. Kutokana na matokeo, mikakati iwekwe ili kuvunja nguvu, desturi zinazochochea

taasubi za kiume.

Mabibi na mabwana, yapasa juhudi zifanywe za kusambaza habari kuhusu umuhimu wa kuheshimu na

kujali binadamu wote na mchango wao. Aidha hatuna budi kuhakikisha nafasi sawa kwa kite mtu kutoa maoni na

292


kusikizwa. Litakuwa jambo la kusikitisha kama jamii itasahau mchango wa wanawake na watoto katika kuzalisha

na kulinda mali. Twahitaji kuondoa uoga kutoka kwa mama zetu wasiotaka mabadiliko. Sekta zote za umma

Ningependa kuwakumbusha kuwa kanuni za ubalozi haziniruhusu kuingilia masuala ya ndani ya nchi hii.

Hata hivyo, nalazimike kushauri jambo moja. Nashauri ibuniwe Wizara ya Maendeleo ya Wenawake,

Vijana na Watoto. Wizare hii itakuwa na jukumu Ia kuondoa vikwazo dhidi ya wanyonge.

Kubuni wizara tu hakutasaidia. Wakereketwa washawishi mabadiliko katika sheria kuhusu wanawake na

watoto hasa wajane na mayatima. Wanaharakati nao yapasa wahakikishe kuwa sheria hizo zinaheshimiwa.

Shirika langu liko tayari kutoa msaada wa kifedha na kitaaluma kwa sababu hii.

Mambo haya yasikomee hapa. Mrudi mlikotoka na mbuni vikundi vya kutuatilia mapendekezo

yaliyotolewa. Ni muhimu kusambaza mliyojifunza hapa ili mambo hayo yapenye kila nyumba.Asanteni.

2. UFUPISHO

Ujambazi wa kimataifa ni tatizo lililowasumbua walimwengu kwa muda mrefu sana. Serikali nyingi

zimetumia mapesa mengi kwa miaka mingi sana zikijitahidi kupambana na janga hili. Hata hivyo, fanaka

haijapatikana, wala haielekei kamwe kuwa itapatikana leo au karne nyingi baadaye.

Yumkini tatizo kubwa lililopo ni kuhusu jelezi Ia dhana ya “ujambazi” tena “Wa kimataifa”. Hili ni tatizo

mojawapo na yapo mengi sana. Tatizo la pili ni kiburi. Kuna wale watu binafsi na hasa viongozi wa nchi

kubwakubwa na serikali zao zilizojiaminisha kuwa ujambazi ni balaa kweli, tena belua, lakini huo ni wa huko,

wala hauwezi kuwagusa licha ya kuwashtua wao.

Kulingana na maoni ya watakaburi hao, ujambazi ni wa watu ‘washenzi’ wasiostaarabika, wapatikanao

katika nchi zisizoendelea bado. Ujambazi pekee wanaouona unafaa kukabiliwa ni dhidi ya mbubujiko wa madawa

ya kulevya uliosabäbishwa na vinyangarika kutoka nchi hizo maaluni za “ulimwengu wa tatu”. Kulingana na

wastaarabu wa nchi zilizoendelea, vinyangarika hivi ndivyo hasa adui mkubwa wa ustaarabu ulimwenguni na ni

sharti vifagiliwe mbali bila huruma. Baada ya kusagwasagwa, ulimwengu mstaarabu utazidi kutononoka na ahadi

ya mbingu hapa ardhini itakamilika.

Imani ya watu hawa ya kuwa ujambazi wa kimataifa, hata iwapo upo, hauwezi kuwashtua wala

kuwatingisha wao ilikuwa kamili na timamu. Ilikuwa kamili na timamu hadi hapo mwezi Septemba tarehe 11

mwaka va 2001, ndege tatu za abiria zilipoelekezwa katika majumba mawili ya fahari, yenye urefu wa zaidi ya

ghorofa mia moja na kuyatwangilia mbali. Mshtuko na kimako! Kimako kwa kuwa, kabla ya siku hiyo,

Wamarekani hawangeweza kudhani kwamba ingewezekana taifa lolote au mtu yeyote kuthubutu kuishambulia

nchi yao, taifa wasifa lililojihami barabara dhidi ya aina yoyote lie ya uchokozi kutoka pembe lo lote la dunia.

Hakuna ulimwenguni mzima, aliyeamini kuwa Marekani ingeweza kushambuliwa. Kwa ajili hiyo,

mshtuko uliitingisha ardhi yote na huzuni ilitanda kote, kama kwamba sayari nzima imeshambuliwa, wala sio

Marekani pekee.

Mintarafu hiyo, Marekani ilipolipiza kisasi kwa kuwaunguza waliokuwemo na wasiokuwemo kwa

mabomu hatari huko Afghanistan, idadi kubwa ya watu duniani ilishangilia na kusherehekea. Kwa bahati mbaya,

tafsiri ya shambulizi la minara-pacha ya Newyork na lile la Pentagon, uti wa uwezo wa kivita wa Marekani,

ilizorota. Kuna wengi waliodhani huo ni mwanzo wa vita vya Waislamu dhidi ya Wakristo na kwa muda,

Waislamu wote wakashukiwa kimakosa kuwa ni majambazi wa kimataifa.

Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali

Tangu opresheni ya Usalama kuanza kutekelezwa na maafisa wa usalama katika mtaa wa Eastleigh,

kumekuwa na propaganda kuwa inalenga watu wa jamii na dini Fulani.

299


Harakati hizi za kuwasaka magaidi sharti ziendelee na zichangiwe na kila raia ili zizae matunda

tatunayoazimia kupata; kuwanasa wote wanaohusika.

Wakenya tumeishi kwa miaka mingi bila kubaguana katika misingi ya dini na ukabila. Iweje tuanze

sasa miaka zaidi ya hamsini baada ya uhuru? Ndiposa tunawasihi Wakenya wote wenye nia njema

kukumbuka kwamba hatuna njia ya mkato katika suala hili la ugaidi. Sharti tupambane nao. Hawa

ni watu; ni ndugu zetu, rafiki zetu na watoto wetu.

Hakuna mzazi atakayejitokeza hadharani na kukiri kuwa mtoto wake ni gaidi! Hata kama atajua

wazi mwanawe ni gaidi na amelipua Wakenya na ataendelea kufanya hivyo akizidi kupewa nafasi.

Atanyamaza na kumtetea kwa hali na mali.

Madhara ya mashambulizi hayo ya kigaidi tayari yameanza kuonekana ambapo wamiliki wa

mahoteli ya kifahari wanalalama kuwa idadi ya wageni imepungua maradufu. Hali kama hii ni

hatari kwa uchumi wa nchi.

Sisi tukiwa Wakenya wapenda amani hatuna budi kuungana mkono katika oparesheni hiyo na

kushirikiana na maafisa wa usalama kwa kutoa habari muhimu kuhusu washukiwa wa ugaidi.

Hakuna operesheni dhidi ya wahalifu ambayo inaweza kuendeshwa bila jamii ambapo wamejificha

kuathiriwa. Heri nusu shari kuliko shari kamili; magaidi wana madhara makubwa kuliko

operesheni ya usalama.

Sisi Wakenya kwa sasa tuko katika hali hii tatanishi ya kushindwa kuamua; tupambane na magaidi

tuumize na Wakenya wachache wasio na hatia ama tuache tu magaidi wakae kwa sababu tunaogopa

kuwasumbua hao wachache.

Kadhalika, badala ya kuangazia maeneo yenye visa vingi vya mashambulizi ya ugaidi operesheni ya

usalama inafaa kuelekezwa pia katika maeneo mengineyo ambayo yamekuwa yakikumbwa na visa

vya utovu wa usalama mara kwa mara.

Vikosi vya usalama vinafaa kuhakisha kuwa magenge ya aina hii hayasazwi katika operesheni hiyo.

Aidha, serikali inapaswa kutoa makataa kwa kila Mkenya ambaye anamiliki bunduki kinyume cha

sheria kusalimisha silaha hizo mara moja katika vituo vya polisi, la sivyo wachukuliwe hatua kali za

kisheria.

Wakenya wote wafaa kuonyesha ushirikiano kwa kuwa makini zaidi. Wajiepushe na maeneo hatari

ambayo yaweza kuwa makazi ya magaidi ama ya washukiwa wa ugaidi. Aliye kando haangukiwi na

mti ama mshausahau huo maarufu.

2. MUHTASARI.

Soma kifungu hiki kisha ujibu maswali.

Lugha imekuwa kikwazo kikubwa katika kukuza tecknolojia ya habari na mawasiliano

(TEKNOHAMA) barani Afrika . Lugha ambazo zimekuwa zikitumiwa ni za kimagharibi kama vile

kijerumani , kifaransa na kiingereza. Idadi kubwa ya waafrika ,hasa wanaoishi vijijini

hawazifahamu lugha hizi.

Uamuzi wa shirika la Microsoft wa kutumia lugha ya kiswahili katika program za kompyuta

kuanzia mwaka 2005 ni mchango mkubwa. Kuzinduliwa kwa mradi huu ni tukio la kipekee

kuimarisha tecknolojia sehemu za mashambani.

Mradi huu umewawezesha wananchi takribani milioni 150 wa janibu za Afrika Mashariki

kufaidika na huduma za tarakilishi.

Utekelezaji wa mradi halikuwa jambo jepesi. Kwanza, ilibidi shirika la microsoft chini ya

uongozi wa Bill Gates kulishawishi Bodi lake la wakurigenzi. Bodi liliposhawishika kuwa

301


Kiswahili ni lugha inayo tumiwa na mamilioni ya watu liliidhinisha kuzinduliwa kwa mradi. Hatua

iliyofuatia ilikuwa kuteua maneno 700,000 ya kimsingi ya kiiingereza ambayo yangetafsiriwa kwa

kiswhili.

Hatua iliyofuata ilikuwa ya kutafuta ushirikiano na dola pamoja na mashirika ya kibiashara

na taasisi za elimu ulimwenguni. Ilipobainika kuwa matumizi ya lugha ya Kiswahili yangehanasisha

Uwekaji katika vituo vya mtandao vijijini, ushirikiano katika kuendesha mradi huu uliafikiwa bila

shida. Mradi huu ulichukua muda wa miezi 18 kukamilika.Uliwashirikisha wahisika katika uwanja

wa tecknolojia ya habari mawasiliano, elimu biashara na idara za Kiswahili katika vyuo vikuu vya

Africa Mashariki. Vyuo –vikuu ni pamoja na Dar es Salaam . Nairobi, Kenyatta na Makerere.

Waatalamu walioshirikishwa walisaidia katika kubuni faharasa ya istilahi za Kiswahili 3,000.

Hizi ni zile ambazo zinafaa kwa matumizi ya kompyuta ya kawaida na ya kila siku.

Mradi huu umeshangiliwa na wakereketwa na wapenzi wa Kiswahili katika nyanja zote.

Wasomi, wanariadha , wanamuziki, watalii, wafanyabiashara , wanasiasa ,wafuasi wa dini

mbalimbali na wakulima ; wote wamefurahia hatua ya Kiswahili kuingizwa kwenye mtandao.

Watu ambao walikuwa hawawezi kutumia tarakilishi kwa sababu ya kutojua Kiingereza sasa

hawana kisingizio. Matumizi ya kiswahili yatapanua na kuimarisha mawasiliano baina ya watu

wanaoishi vijijini na pembe zote za ulimwengu.

Jambo la kutia moyo zaidi ni kuwa sasa vyuo vikuu vinavyotoa masomo kwa kutumia

mitandao vimepewa idhini ya kutumia programu hizi. Walimu na wanafunzi wanapata habari moja

kwa moja kwa kiswahili bila kutafsiri . Kuna uwezekano sasa wa kusambaza mafonzo katika nyanja

na viwango vyote kwa mfumo wa elimu ya mbali.

Katika ulimwengu wa utandawazi,tukio kama hili lina manufaa makubwa. Wananchi wa

vijijini wanaweza kupata habari na maarifa kutoka pembe zote za dunia na kuhusu masuala tofauti

tofauti kwa lugha wanyoielewa barabara.

Kusambaa kwa matumizi ya ngamizi vijijini kutaimarisha biashara inayofungamana na

tecknolojia na mawasiliano .Haili hii itainua maendeleoya teknolojia na kiwango cha maisha

vijijini. Bila shaka mwachano uliopo baina ya sehemu za mijini na vijijini utapunguwa.

Haya ndiyo maendeleo anayokamia kila mja wa siku hizi . Lililopo ni serikali kupania

kupanua na kusambaza muundo mbinu kama –umeme na simu katika sehemu zote za nchi. Pamoja

na haya , kuna haja ya kupunguza bei ya ngamizi na vipuri vyake ili kuwatia motisha watu kununua

kompyuta kwa wingi. Ikumbukwe – kuwa lengo la kuanzisha mradi huu ilikuwa kuisaidia serikali

kupanua na kusambaza matumizi ya huduma za kompyuta na mtandao katika shule, vituo vya

kijami na maeneo ya makaazi. Huduma hizi ni msigi wa elimu, biashara na mawasiliano ya

makaazi.

END TERM ONE, ENGLISH FORM ONE NAME: …………………………………………………………………ADM NO: ………………CLASS: …..……… 1. COMPREHENSION: (15marks)

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

We are often advised to be confident; confidence comes when we feel passionately about what we

perform, what we have achieved, and what we can offer.

Lack of confidence can hinder a lot of things, ranging from how you get ahead in your career to the number

of skills you are able to acquire. It is a determining factor in the way you direct your career. Confidence is

conveyed from inner to the outer through the words you speak and the posture you assume. Building

confidence is not a one day affair. Neither does it take other people to build your confidence.

I remember an interview I once conducted for secretaries, and the memory of one woman is intact. She

stammered from the point she entered the office to the moment she left. Thinking that it was interview

jitters, we called her again, based on her technical qualifications rather than her presentation. She

presented the same problem. We settled on a different candidate because confidence was a key

qualification for the job which involved dealing with clients and colleagues.

Not many entry-level and first-time job seekers are coached or tutored on how to gain more self-

confidence. Instead, we tell them to “attend a few events, meet more people, and get the hang of it.”

That is not the right approach. Often, by the time you “get the hang of it,” you will have probably ruined a

few chances, stepped on a few toes, and generally spoilt a few opportunities. Confidence starts from

within, which means working with yourself to find an effective method on your capabilities.

Having had quite some experience interviewing and being interviewed, I have developed three sure-fire

ways that not only help me before an interview, but improve my general self-confidence. You must start

with one as you progress and eventually build your own self-confidence.

I have learnt that confidence begins with pushing yourself towards positive attitude. Before an interview, I

tell myself that I am capable of great things, great performance, and that the interview is only a little chat I

must have to get the job. Not only do I talk myself into entering the interview room, but I also talk myself

into achieving success, whether or not I need the job. About 90 percent of the time, I have been successful

in interviews.

Doubting oneself only leads to criticizing oneself, which plants deep roots that can

be almost impossible to weed out. My mentor always used to say, “You are what

you think you are.”

Secondly, beginning with one small step rather than giant leaps will ensure that you tackle interviews and

first jobs with a lot of self-confidence. There are two ways to go through this. The first one has to do with

something that you like doing, such as writing a song. However, this should not be just any song but a new

one created out of your love for music. My personal pre-interview confidence boost is to cook something

that I have never tried before. This boosts my self-confidence to new levels. After achieving that particular

goal, you must pat yourself on the back.

The third step to building confidence involves holding onto that little surge of confidence. Once you have

tackled what you have previously found to be difficult, then the next step would be to focus on building

334


your self confidence a lot further. Ensure that this becomes not only a monthly confidence boost, but a

daily one because, as we are all programmed, we must build our self-confidence habitually to maintain it.

Routines have been known to help anybody to acquire and maintain confidence.

Chief Ullini’s daughter.

Every dark cloud were gathering in the late afternoon sky. There was stillness in the air, a stillness that

threatened a storm.

338


The boatman who rowed people across the lake was making fast his boat when a young man and a woman

approached him in a great hurry. They were desperate to cross the lake, they said, and urged him to take them.

He shook his head and pointed to the sky he told them that the storm was soon calming and that they should

wait until it blew over. It would be dangerous to take his small rowing boat out to the lake.

All the time he was talking, the young couple were nervously looking behind them. Simon, the young man

pleaded with the batman to take them and offered him purse of silver coins. He told the boatman that he and

the Elizabeth, the young woman, were in love and were determine to marry. Her father was chief ullini and

he wanted to marry Elizabeth off to a neighboring chief, a man she did not love. The chief was at that moment

pursuing them. They must cross the lake to be safe.

The boatman knew of chief ullini fiery temper and how he would kill the young man if he caught him he could

also see how very much in love the young couples were .Just then the boatman son Eric came. He was

strucking young man who helps his father , he was told the story of the young couple and sympathized with

the plight. The young man spoke up. She would rather, she said, face the turbulent water than meet the wrath

of the angry father. Tears weld up n her eyes, never, she protested, would she marry a man she didn’t love.

The boatman was touched by her a appeal and told her son he had decided to row the couple across not for

money, but because he admired their talent and love Eric looked anxiously at his father. A storm was certainly

coming , he warned .it will be far too risky.

However, his father was already herding his passenger into his boat. when they were both seated he untied the

rope and made to get in himself. Suddenly , Eric pulled his father away and leapt into the boat took up the

0ars and began to row away.

His father ,when he had recovered his breath ,shouted for his son to come back .His wife, on hearing the shout

went down to the lakes edge .seeing her son rowing away over the stormy water, she screamed for him to

return .The threatening wind whipped her words away.

Towards the lake a group of armed men came. It was the chief with his warriors. He was angry, but when he

saw his daughter on the lake being tossed by angry waves he was terribly afraid .He bellowed that he forgive

them and that they should return.

It was in vain as he shouted the waves capsized the little craft and its three young occupants were drowned as

the old people watched.

The battle

Helmet and rifle, pack and overcoat

Marched through a forest, somewhere up ahead

Guns thudded, like the Circle of the throat

The night on every side was turning red.

They halted and they dug. They sang like moles

Into the clammy earth between the trees

And soon the sentries, standing in their holes,

Felt the first snow. Their feet began to freeze

At dawn the first snow. Their feet began to freeze

At dawn the first shell landed with a crack

Then shells and bullets swept the icy woods.

This lasted many days. The snow was now black.

The Corpse stiffened in their scarlet hoods.

Most clearly of that battle I remember

The tiredness in the eyes, how hands looked thin

Around a cigarette, and the bright ember

Would pulse with all the life there was within.

1. COMPREHENSION (20 MARKS)

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

It has been noted that Kenya is experiencing ‘phenomenal’ growth in population and that this will put a strain

on the economy. The general feeling amongst those who see a large population as a problem is that we should put

family planning issues back on the national agenda. But does Kenyareally have a population problem? I do not think

so. There is nothing as good as a large population of people within a nation that values human resources and is ready

to put them to productive use.

Countries that are now registering tremendous economic growth, such as China, India and Brazil, are

characterized by, among other things, large populations. A country’s economic growth is determined much more by

the choices it makes in the utilization of its resources rather than by the rate of its population growth.

We can roughly classify countries into three broad categories on the basis of their development and the

utilization of their human resources. The first category is that of countries that value, develop and utilize their human

resources for economic growth. These countries include China and the countries we now refer to as the Asian Tigers,

such as Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. These countries have strategically utilized their immense human

resources for exemplary economic growth. Singapore, for example, is the second most densely populated country in

the world after Monaco, yet it has put all its people to work.

The second category is that of countries that suffer from lack of human resources because of a dwindling

population. These countries include Norway, Holland, Russia and Austria. They are overburdened with an aging

population and are unable to excite their people to multiply. Having realized the negative impact of this low population

on their economies, these countries are now encouraging their people to get more children by giving lucrative

incentives to couples. They have also begun importing manpower.

The third category is that of countries that do not seem to have a progressive policy on the utilization of their

human resources. Instead, it appears as if they consider this particular resource an enemy.

They are afraid that a large population will impact negatively on their economies. They, therefore, make

programs to reduce population a priority. As a result, these countries operate on the fringes of the world economy,

unable to utilize the resources bequeathed to them by nature. Unfortunately, many developing countries, including

Kenya, fall into this category.

The land mass we call Kenya is capable of supporting well over 200 million people, compared to its current

population of about 40 million people. In size, it is 582,367 square kilometers, much bigger many industrialized nations.

It is, for example, far bigger than Israel, which is only 20,072 square kilometers, yet it

345


supports population of about 7 million people. By world standards, therefore, Kenya is a sparsely populated

country. We fight over land in an area hardly a third of the country, where we practice subsistence agriculture and are

always at the mercy of the vagaries of nature, yet our contribution to the world economy is marginal.

We have to confront the real problems we face as a country and not find a scapegoat in population growth.

Our inability to plan for our people and put resources to proper use in order to industrialize is our biggest undoing.

Much of Israel, for example, is actually a reclaimed desert. Kenya, with some little creativity, can reclaim all the arid

and semi-arid lands, and support a larger population. In short, we need to rethink our strategies. Other resources that

Kenya needs to harness are water and the long hours of sunshine. Flood waters kill our people during rainy seasons

as we helplessly watch, instead of using technology to harvest the water and use it to irrigate the arid lands. The sun

shines on our heads every day, yet we cannot tap its rays to light up our homes at night or power our vehicles.

The argument that that population growth is cancelling out economic growth is flawed. There is little evidence

to support the view that small families are the richest. Simply put, we cannot convince the poor that the only way of

getting out of poverty is through getting fewer babies. We should direct our energies more at creating wealth rather

than pushing the futile agenda of population control tothe national limelight.

2. EXTRACT

Read the excerpt below and then answer the questions that follow:-

“My father”, he began. “It is a shameful thing for my wife to leave her husband’s house and return

to her father’s house. This outrageous thing has occurred only because I was not here to prevent it.”

“Our chief, we are all saddened by this unfortunate state of affairs, but you must admit that

your mother has a point or two. Long have we pleaded with you to take another wife for yourself and

you have adamantly refused. Now she has left you, you are like a misumba, a bachelor which would

not have been the case if you had another wife. We beg you take another wife for yourself.” This was

347


from Oyier, a grizzled old man who had been his mother’s greatest champion in her quest for

a wife for Owour. He realized that the old geezers were going to give him a hard time of it, so he

changed his tactics.

“Fathers, you are the wise men of this community. That is why you sit in the council. Is it that

you have forgotten the ways of Chik or that your determination to get me to marry other wives has

clouded your judgment? Do you not know that a man’s mikai is the greatest jewel that adorns his

compound?That her position is maintained and protected by taboos imposed by the ways of Chik?

That if I die, Were forbid, my body can only lie in state in her house, before Iam buried on the right

hand side of her hut? And this would be so even if she herself were dead? To lose one’s mikai is to

lose one’s right hand.”

The Jodongo nodded sagaciously at the wisdom uttered by the chief. It is true the mikai is the

centre post that holds up a man’s hut. Without her, or if she were stupid only Were could rescue such

a man from being blown away from among the people like so much chaff. She it is who saves a young

man from the follies and stupidities of youth. Indeed the people of Ramogi had a saying which

declared that ‘The medicine for stupidity is marriage’. Yes, the chief had spoken wisely. But Oyier

would not give up so easily.

“Son of Kembo and father of young Kembo, what you say is only the truth. But can a house

be built with only one pole however strong it is? Others are needed to give it support. What would

you do if an animal attacked you and you had only one arrow in your quiver and you missed with the

first and only one? Consider the welfare of your people. If not for yourself atleast get another wife

for their sake so that you are assured of enough heirs to guide them in future.”

“Fathers, “countered Owuor,”I already have an heir and besides, Otieno, my brother has six

sons already and he also is the blood of the first chief, MarokoOtuoma our great great grandfather.”

“Son of Kembo, our chief. May I first of all point out that even though Otieno is of the blood,

the spirit of Maroko, great and fearless warrior and a just man, just does not rest upon him. Besides

you know that fullness of spirit usually rests on the first born who is therefore empowered by Chikto

receive all the good fortune which will naturally overflow to the people.”

3. LITERARY APPRECIATION

ORAL NARRATIVE

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow

THE OLD WOMAN Long time ago in a certain village there lived a rich healthy woman. Everyone in the village called her mama. Everybody liked her for her gay and pleasant nature. Her face was ever radiant as though she cared about nothing in this world. Aside from this, she was very fond of young children who referred to her as guuku. Mmbone, the old woman, was rather a mystery. Nobody knew where she came from or who her real family members were. This elicited many rumours about her origin. Some people believed she was the only survivor of a clan that had been wiped by a severe drought. Her survival had been secured by her good nature that made the gods spare her. Another rumour had it that she was hardworking and intelligent enough to keep enough food to last the entire drought period. The most bizarre rumour had it that she was chased away from a distant clan after killing her neighbours’ child so as to gain potency. All these mysteries about her notwithstanding, Mmbone’s compound remained a darling of villagers. Though she did not have children and grandchildren of her own, Mmbone’s compound was always full of playing children. Whenever she was annoyed, which was rare, she expressed her anger by rebuking “ Eh…..eh!..........eh!..........eeh! Not again you hear me? And as usual her bright face would come back. As the children played, she would be busy in her garden trying to plant vegetables, which helped her in making her ends meet. After a whole day’s work, she would come back home and prepare food to share with the children who spent the whole day running up and down the field.

350


After finishing the food, the children would help one another to wash the utensils after which they would gather around the grandmother to enjoy her stories and songs. The songs and stories aimed at teaching the children moral values. “One story was particularly interesting. She told them about how one generous old woman once faced starvation. She went to the home of the people whose children she had saved from starvation during a drought. Surprisingly, the woman refused to assist the old woman. This greatly disturbed her. She however left, singing the following song. Ndyegu yatsia kutusmu Akiima umwama Umwana natsia kusuma Akiima Ndeygu, Ngeyegu vava, ukaliranga ki Atsunutsunutsunu Ndegegu went to borrow food, She denied her child The child went to borrow hers She denied Ndyegu, Ndyegu ended up crying Why then? Atsunutsunnnutsunu. With time however the drought ended and the old woman survived. Years down the road, another drought happened. The mean woman was hard hit. She got scared and ashamed of going to borrow from the old woman. Seeing the agony of the children of the woman, the old woman went to her and asked. ‘My daughter, what disturbs you?’ The woman answered,’ Mama, my children are hungry and l have no food to give them.” Then why don’t you come to ask for some from me?’ The woman replied,’ Mama, I remember the day you came to borrow from me and l turned you away though l had some food to spare.” “Don’t worry my daughter. Though you refused to help me, the gods of our fathers fed me. Do you call me mama for nothing? Come! Take some cassava for my husbands and co-wives. They don’t have to suffer for your childish mistake!” The woman took some food home and saved her children.” During the story time, she showed the children how to dance but did not do it perfectly due to her advanced age. Regardless of all this, the children gave all their ears to her and benefited from her wisdom. One day, when she chould not dance with the agility of the children, one naughty child made fun of her. Instead of rebuking her directly, the old woman said, ‘Utarora nnya vukana dada yata vustsa tsing’ombe.” She would later smile broadly as she walked back to her house and parted with the children. After some time the village was shocked to hear that their beloved ma and grandma had gone West. Both the children and their parents grieved for long. She was then sent back to her ancestors, from where she had mysteriously come. Little did the children know that the old woman’s favorite stories were about her own life.

COMPREHENSION (20MKS)

Doubtlessly, many of us consider ourselves patriots. And we have evidence to prove it; we cheer Harambee

Stars hoarse when they are playing international matches. What’s more, when our athletes are competing

in foreign capitals, we root for them with all enthusiasm we can muster. Actually, some of us have been

observed to heave and pant in rhythm with our fellow Kenyan competitors as we watch them on

television, Wonderful and noble though it is to identify with, and celebrate the exploits of our country men

and women, we need to do a lot more to earn the label ‘patriot’.

A reliable yardstick where patriotism is concerned is our taste in various things. Take music for example.

Most of us like listening to it as it is pleasant to the ear and soothing to the heart. The question is, what

music do you predominantly listen to? Some wouldn’t be seen dead listening to local music. To them, it is

‘uninspiring’ and ‘primitive’. They prefer foreign lyrics, and drug abuse. The moral damage inflicted upon

the impressionable minds of our youth by such music is immense.

There are several reasons why we should cultivate a liking for local music. To begin with, our artist are now

producing music that can hold its own anywhere. Most of them pass information with positive values such

as obedience, respect and the importance of avoiding HIV infection. Secondly, when we buy local music,

we help to create employment in the music and tourism industries. Besides, we promote talent and

enhance the local languages in which some of the music is composed.

Another area in which some have turned their backs on Kenya is education. After fourth form, there are

those who opt to study abroad even though the very courses they want to do there are available locally.

They either mistakenly believe that Kenyan education is substandard or they are simply lured by the

mirage of better prospects abroad.

There are obvious advantages of studying locally. In terms of cost, it is much cheaper here. Needless to say,

you are spared the added cost of air tickets and the hustle of obtaining travel documents. Your money

remains here and boosts our economy; more lecturers, non academic staff and even suppliers find

employment. Moreover, you remain close to your family and friends and thus avoid the nasty culture

shock experienced by those who go abroad.

Supposing somebody offered to sponsor you for a sight-seeing tour to place of your choice. Which country

would you choose? Chances are that it wouldn’t be Kenya, right? Yet, the reality is that most of us know

very little of this gem of a country whose natural endowments beckon so many from so far. We are

ignorant about the world’s finest safaris, commanding waterfalls, spectacular lakes, in parallel array of big

game and varied cultural activities the induce adrenchin rush. Such scenic splendor, or heritage, left to be

savored almost exclusively by foreign tourist! Hasn’t our government heavily subsidized domestic tourism?

Why then should some Kenyans save up to go to Seychelles or Hawaii before they have tasted their own

mother’s appetizing dish?

If we were true patriots, we would fully familiarize ourselves with our local attractions before going to

foreign destinations. Apart from the guaranteed pleasure we would derive from such local adventures, we

358


would, more importantly, be building the Kenyan economy in various ways. Tourism is directly linked to

the hotel, entertainment, transport, trade and agriculture industries.

Lastly, let us desist from talking ill of our country. True, there may be many things that have gone wrong in

Kenya but let us try to look for a positive speck even in the muck. Lets criticize constructively for the

betterment of our nation. We only demean ourselves when we strip our motherland naked for all and

sundry to ridicule.

Most of us feel the itch of patriotism. Let us now scratch that itch by promoting what is truly uniquely

Kenyan. Our choices in the past may have made the present bleak, but our future as Kenyans does not

have to be bleak.

coming to dinner too. And here they are! (Enter three gentlemen through the doorway) Go to the kitchen

and eat, my friend. (As the RIDER goes, the ADJUTANTgreetstheARCHITECTS) Gentlemen, His Excellency

expects you at dinner. He will devote all his time to you and your great news plans. Come!

ONE OF THE ARCHITECTS: We marvel that His Excellency intends to build. There are disquietingrumours

that the war in Persia has taken a turn for the worse.

ADJUTANT: All the more reason to build.There’s nothing to those rumours anyway. Persia is a long way off,

and garrison here would letit be hacked to bits for its Governor. (Noise from the Palace.The shrill scream of

a woman. Someone is shouting orders, Dumbfounded, the ADJUTANT moves towards the gateway. An

IRONSSHIRT steps out, points his lance at him)What’s this? Put down the lance, you dog.

360


ONE OF THE ARCHITECTS: It’s the Princes! Don’t you know the Princes met last night in the capital? And

they are against the Grand Duke and his Governors? Gentle men, we’d better make ourselves scarce. (They

rush off. The ADJUTANTremains helplessly behind.)

ADJUTANT (furiously to the Palace Guard): Down with those lances! Don’t you see the Governor’s life is

threatened?

The IRONSHIRTS of the Palace Guard refuse to obey. They stare coldly and indifferently at the ADJUTANT

and follow the next event without interest.

SINGER:

O blindness of the great!

They got their ways like gods,

Great over bent backs,

Sure of hired fists,

Trusting the power,

Which has lasted so long?

But long is not forever.

O change from age to age!

Though hope from the people!

(Enter the Governor through the gateway, between two SOLDIERS armed to the teeth.

He is in chains. His face is grey.)

Up, great sir deign to walk upright!

From your palace the eyes of many foes follow you!

And now you don’t need an architect, a carpenter will do.

You won’t be moving to new palace

But into a little hole in the ground.

Look about you once more, blind man!

(The ARRESTED MAN looks around).

Does all you had please you?

Between the Easter Mass and Easter meal

You are walking to a place whence nobody returns.

361


The GOVERNOR is led off. A horn sounds an alarm, noise behind the gateway

When the house of great one collapses

Many little one are slain.

Those who had no share in the good fortunes of the mighty

Often have a share in their misfortunes

The plunging wagon

Drags the sweating oxen down with it

Into the abyss.

(The SERVANTS come rushing through the gateway in panic)
