CHRISTMAS EVE AT SEA –John Masefield

The wind is rustling “south and soft,”
Cooing a quiet country tune
The calm sea sighs, and far aloft
The sails are ghostly in the moon.

Unquiet ripples lisp and purr,

A block there pipes and chirps I’ the sheave,
The wheel-ropes jar, the reef-points stir
Faintly – and it is Christmas Eve.

The hushed sea seems to hold her breath,

And o’er the giddy, swaying spars,
Silent and excellent as Death,
The dim blue skies are bright with stars.

COMPREHENSION ( 20 MARKS)

Read the following passage and then answer the questions that follows .

At the head of the court is a high seat where the judge sits. Down below is a table for officers of the court
,and to the left and to the right of the table are other seats. Some of these seats form a block that is
enclosed,and they are for the jury if they is a jury. In front of the table are other seats arranged in arcs of
circles, with curved tables in front of the seats, and it is there that the lawyers sit. And behind them is the
dock, with a passage leading to some place that is underground, and from this place that is underground
will be brought the men that are to be judged. At the back of the court there are seats rising in tiers, those
on the right for Europeans, those for le left for non Europeans, according to the custom.

You may not smoke in this court , you may not whisper or speak or laugh. You must dress decently, and
if you are a man , you may not wear your hat *unless such is your religion.*This is in honour of the judge
and in honour of the king whose officerhe is; and in honour of the law behind the judge , and in honour of
the people behind the law. When the judge enters you will stand and you will not sit till he is seated.
When the judge leaves you will stand and you will not move till he has left. This honour of the judge and
of the things behind the judge.

For the judge is entrusted a great duty, to judge and pronounce sentence even sentence of death. Because
of their high office , judges are called Honourable, * and precede most other men* on great occasions.
And they are held in great honor by men both white and black.

Because the land is a land of fear, a judge must be without fear, so that justice may be done according to
the law; therefore a judge must be incorruptible.

The judge does not make the law. It is the people that make the law. Therefore, if the law is unjust , and if
the judge judges according to the law, that is justice, even if it is not just.

It is the duty of the judge to do justice, but it is only that the people that can be just. Therefore, if justice
be not just, that is not to be *laid at the door of the judge,*but at the door of the people, which means, at
the door of the white people, for it is the white people that make the law.

In South Africa men are proud of their judges, because they are not incorruptible. Even the black men are
proud of their judges, because they believe they are incorruptible. Even the black men have faith in them,
though they do not always have faith in the law . In a land of fear this incorruptibility is like *a lamp set
upon a stand*,giving light to that are in the house.

foul players - they rose to power through military coups or rigged elections. Those won't be walking
along Way Omega any time soon, will they?"

"Change is always like that, Ms McKenzie.One side of it has defenders of existing arrangements. These,
sure about their loss if those arrangements end, fight tooth and nail to keep them. The other side has
challengers of existing arrangements. These not yet sure about their gain if new arrangements replace old
arrangements, do not fight so hard to win them."

" Huh? What did you just say, Dr Afolabi?"

You are not listening to me anymore, are you, Ms McKenzie? Anyway, I was saying Way Omega will put
Africa on a new course, free from the obstacles that have defeated it's past efforts. Imagine this, Ms
McKenzie: Africa without coups, without civil wars, without..." He stopped himself. Look who is

SEHEMU A UFAHAMU:ALAMA 15

Soma taarifa ifuatayo kisha ujibu maswali

Nchini Kenya, pamoja na kuwa mwanamke amepewa hadhi kubwa ikilinganishwa na hapo awali, kumetokea
visa vingi vya unyanyasajiwa wanawake. Visa hivi haviwakati wengi maini, bali ni vyombo vya kuwazindua
viongozi kuona kwamba hali haijafika kiwango cha kuridhisha. Visa vya ubakaji wa watoto wa kike na wazee,
na wakati mwingine baba zao, vimetokea katika miaka ya hivi karibuni. Isitoshe, akina mama wengi wamekuwa
wahasiriwa wa mivua ya makonde kutoka kwa waume zao, hata kwa makosa madogo madogo. Hivi majuzi
mmoja wa wanawake hawa, ambao maisha kwao ni shairi tu, alichomwa vibaya na mumewe, kisa na maana
amejitia kujua kuwa kuna siku ya wapenzi, yaani Valentine day. Mwanamke huyu, baada ya kutoka
mashambani kuja kujumuika na mumewe kusherehekea siku ya wapenzi, alipata sherehe za kuchoma moto
huku mumewe akilalamika kuingiliwa uhuru wake. Mama huyu bado anauguza majeraha ya mwili na moyo!

Mwanamke aliyesoma na kupewa fursa ya kufanya kazi na ajira ofisini naye amekabiliwa na changamoto
nyingi. Huyu lazima atekeleze majukumu yake kama mama, mke na mfanyikazi. Wengi wa wanawake
wanaofanya kazi mjini hulalamika wanafanya kazi maradufu ya wanaume. Mwanamke kama huyu, kama
alivyolalamika mmoja wao ambaye ni afisa wa utawala wa mikoa, huanza siku yake alfajiri na mapema
kuitayarishia familia staftahi, kisha kuelekea ofisini ambapo anakabiliwa na migogoro mingi ya kusuluhisha.
Arejeapo nyumbani jioni, hali huwa hiyo hiyo, kutayarisha chajio, kushughulikia kazi za shule za watoto na
kuichangamsha familia. Maisha yake huwa hivyo, siku nenda siku rudi. Utashangaa mja huyu atayabeba
mangapi?

Hali huwa mbaya zaidi kwa wanawake ambao wameingia siasa. Hawa mikasa yao haihesabiki. Mara watupiwe
mabezo ya kila aina na wanasiasa wenzao, mara washutumiwe na kutiwa midomoni na wanajamii kwa
kuonekana wakichapa kazi na kuwa na uhusiano wa karibu na wazalendo wenzao wa kiume. Maisha yake
hupigwa darubini hata nyakati ambazo hayahitaji kuangazwa.

Mwanamke amekuwa kinyago cha kufanyiwa mzaha. Juzi karibu mbingu zianguke alipojitokeza mwana
vitimbi mmoja aliyejitia kufanyia utani yasiyohitaji. Alimwasiri mwanamke kama aliyechangia kukosewa
heshima kwake kwa kule kutamani kufanywa hivyo. Ingawa wanawake walimshinikiza mhusika huyu kuomba
msamaha, upayukaji wake haupaswi kuchukuliwa kama mzaha. Ni ishara ya hisia ya ndani za watu wengi
kuhusu mwanamke; kwamba ingawa wakenya wamejitahidi kupigania haki za wanawake; baadhi yetu bado
wana zile fikira za kijadi kuhusu wanawake.

Uchumi wa nchi kamwe hauwezi kuendelea bila kumhusisha kila mtu. Nchini humu, baada ya kutambua haya,
mwanamke amepewa nyadhifa mbalimbali katika serikali. Ingawa kuna baadhi ya wanawake waliohusika na
kashfa mbalimbali za kifisadi, Kuna wale ambao wametumia nyadhifa zao kuhifadhi nchi. Mmoja wa
wanawake amejaribu kwa jino na ukucha kuyalinda mazingira dhidi ya mapapa. Nani asiyekumbuka matusi na
mabezo aliyopata mwanamke huyu anayejitoa mhanga kuikinga sehemu Fulani ya burudani dhidi ya
kunyakuliwa na wanaostahili? Hakuyajutia yaliyompata. Aliowatisha walijaribu kummeza mzimamzima lakini
mwishowe walisalimu amri na kuliacha eneo hilo. Hiki kilikuwa kitendo cha ujasiri na uzalendo mkubwa.
Matunda yake yamewafaidi wengi, vijana kwa wazee. Kila mwisho wa wiki huwaona watu wakimiminika

[Contact 0724333200/0795491185/ 0768321553 for Marking Schemes or Order online at

www.kenyaeducators.co.ke]
kwenye eneo hili kujipumbaza. Hii si fahari kwake tu, bali kwa nchi kwa jumla. Wale waliompinga na kumwita
punguani wakati huo wamebaki kuinamisha nyuso tu; bila shaka wamefunzwa mengi.

Wanawake sasa wana haki ya kumiliki mali mathalani shamba. Kutokana na hili tumeshuhudia ongezeko
kubwa la uzalishaji wa chakula mashambani na kwa hivyo kupunguza njaa na umaskini.
Biashara ndogondogo zinazoendelezwa sokoni na mitaani, kwa kiasi kikubwa, huhusisha wanawake. Biashara
hizi huchangia pakubwa katika kuimarisha uchumi wa nchi kwani hutoa ajira ya kibinafsi kwa maelfu ya watu.
Ushuru na leseni zinazokatiwa biashara hizi huongezea serikali pato la ndani.

Mgala muuwe na haki umpe. Ni ukweli kwamba tumekuwa na visa vya hapa na pale vya ukiukaji wa haki za
wanawake. Hata hivyo, ni dhahiri kwamba nchi hii imejitahidi mno kuendelea kumkwamua mwanamke kwayo.
Hata mashirika ambayo hapo awali hayakupenda kuwaajiri wanawake, sasa yanawapa nafasi sawa na wanaume.
Vyuo vikuu vya kibinafsi vimeanzishwa kuwasajili wanawake. Jijini humu, mna chuo kikuu cha sayansi cha
wanawake. Aidha kumeanzishwa kituo (shule) cha kuwasajili wasichana kutoka familia maskini kujiunga na
kidato cha kwanza. Wasichana hawa watapata wadhamini kutoka mashirika na watu mbalimbali ili kujiendeleza
kimasomo.

Kumheshimu mwanamke ni miongoni mwa haki za kibinadamu ambazo sharti zitekelezwe. Hata hivyo,
wanawake wakumbuke kwamba hata wanapopuliza siwa kuhusu kupewa haki, lazima wao pia wawajibike.
Wao ndio walimu wa kwanza wa wanao; ikiwa basi wataonekana kwenye vyombo vya habari wakining’inia juu
ya magari ya wachunga magereza kwa kuzitafutia pesa za mayatima matumizi bora, watakuwa wanapotosha
watoto wao. Wawe watu wa vitendo zaidi ya upayukaji.

Soma makala yafuatayo kisha ujibu maswali

Nchi nyingi za ulimwengu wa tatu huathirika na biashara ya kimataifa.Biashara hiyo inaweza kuwa
inafanywa kwa uagizaji ama uuzaji wa bidhaa za nchi nyingine.

Biashara ya kimataifa ina umuhimu mkubwa. Kwanza, inawezesha nchi kupata bidhaa ambazo
haitengenezi mbali na kusaidia kuwepo na uhusiano kati ya nchi mbalimbali. Uhusiano huu huiwezesha
nchi kupata bidhaa kwa bei rahisi kuliko ambavyo ingekuwa kama zingetengenezwa kwao, hasa ikiwa

[Contact 0724333200/0795491185/ 0768321553 for Marking Schemes or Order online at

www.kenyaeducators.co.ke]
 nchi inayohusika haina malighafi yanayohusika katika utengenezaji wa bidhaa hizo. Pia husaidia wakati
nchi imekumbwa na dharura au majanga kwani itaauniwa na nchi nyingine ingawa hali kama hii
haihakikishwi, ushirikiano huu vile vile huchochea upatikanaji wa nafasi za kazi kwa wengi.

Kwa sababu za kushughulikia utengenezaji wa bidhaa na utoaji huduma nyingine kutokana na uzoefu
wa muda na kuwepo raslimali, nchi huwa na uzoefu fulani. Ni kwa sababu hii nchi inawezeshwa kupata
pesa za kigeni na kuuza bidhaa za ziada.

Hata hivyo kuna matatizo yanayozikumba nchi za kiafrika katika biashara hii. Kwanza, biashara ya aina
hii hutatiza viwanda vichanga katika nchi zinazoendelea kwa ushindani usio sawa. Ajabu ni kwamba
nchi zilizoendelea zimetumia bishara hii ‘kutupa’ bidhaa za hali ya chini ama zenye athari kwa hali za
kijamii.Urafiki haukosi. Ikiwa nchi inategemea uagizaji wa bidhaa, haitaweza kuikosea ama kuhitilifiana
na nchi ambayo inategemea, hivyo kuathiri uhuru wa nchi kama hiyo.

Hata hivyo, nchi mbalimbali zimeweka mikakati ya kulinda viwanda kutokana na athari ya biashara
kama hii. Baadhi zimeweka ushuru wa juu kwa bidhaa zinazoagizwa kutoka nje kwa wasio washirika
wa kibiashara. Licha ya hayo, baadhi ya bidhaa zinazonunuliwa kutoka nje kwa matumizi ya kielimu,
utafiti wa kisayansi na bidhaa za maonyesho huagizwa bila ushuru huo. Wakati mwingine ni benki kuu
ndiyo hutoa leseni kwa niaba ya serikali kama njia ya kudhibiti bidhaa kutoka nje. Njia nyingine ya
kuvisaidia viwanda nchini ni kuuza bidhaa kwa njia ya kuvipunguzia ushuru, usafirishaji nafuu na
kuvipa ushuru.

Serikali nyingine huhakikisha kuwa ni bidhaa kiasi fulani tu ambazo zinaweza kuagizwa kwa kipindi
fulani. Kwa mfano, kuna idadi fulani ya magari kutoka nje yanayoweza kuagizwa kuja Kenya kwa
mwaka mmoja. Hata hivyo, wakati mwingine, serikali husitisha uagizaji wa bidhaa kama vile dawa,
sinema, maandishi ya kisiasa na vitabu kutoka nje; bidhaa ambazo zinachukuliwa kuwa hatari kwa nchi.
Licha ya matatizo haya, biashara imekuwepo na inaendelea kujiimarisha.

(a) Kwa mujibu wa mwandishi wa makal haya, bishara ya kimataifa itaendelea kujiimarisha.

Muhali kukubagua, yeye ameshapania,

Anayo nzuri tabia, usimlipe udhia

Akufaaye kwa dhiki, simlipe unafiki.

Simtoe maanani , alokutoa jauani,

Kakutika kivulini, amejaliwa Imani,

Amekuvukisha mtoni, umadharau kwa nini?

Akuffaye kwa dhiki, simlipe unafiki

Wengi sana duniani, wachoyo sana baini,

Wakusaidie kwani, wewe ni wa kwao nini?

Wachache wenye Imani , hao ndio wenye thamani,

Akufaaye kwa dhiki, simlipe na unafiki.
