KISWAHILI KIDATO CHA PILI

MUHULA WA TATU MWAKA WA 2023

MUDA; MASAA 21/2

Insha ya kiuamilifu. (alama 20)

1. Hali ya usalama imekuwa ikizorota katika lokesheni yako.

Andika barua kwa chifu wa eneo lenu ukionyesha visa vya ukosefu wa
usalama na upendekeze njia za kukabiliana na hali hiyo.
2.UFAHAMU( AL.15)
Soma taarifa ifuatayo kisha ujibu maswali
Aibu kubwa ya taifa kushindwa kukabiliana na tatizo sugu la ajali za barabarani
bado inaendelea. Wahusika katika sekta ya uchukuzi na mawasiliano licha ya matumizi ya
vidhibiti mwendo na kanda za usalama. Ajali za barabarani zinaangamiza idadi kubwa ya
watu kila mwaka, wakiwemo viongozi na watu mashuhuri.
Miongoni mwa sababu ambazo zinaleta maafa barabarani ni pamoja na uendeshaji
kasi kupita inavyotakikana, yaani kukiuka masharti yaliyowekwa na wizara ya uchukuzi
na mawasiliano. Madereva wengi hung’oa vithibiti mwendo vilivyowekwa hawarekebishi
mikanda ya usalama, wala hawa peleki magari yao kwa ukaguzi mara kwa mara kama
inavyopaswa kutekeleza kanuni zilizowekwa kwa hivyo hutegemea hongo kuwa
barabarani. Fauka ya hao, madereva wa malori na matrela mara nyingi huendesha magari
hayo wakiwa walevi. Dawa za kulevya kama vile miraa na bangi, hutumiwa sana na watu
hawa, na matokeo yake huwa ajali mbaya.
Hata hivyo, lawama haiwezi kuelekezewa madereva pekee. Ukiangazia barabara
nchini utapata kuwa barabara nchini Kenya haziko katika hali nzuri . Zile za lami
zimekuwa na mashimo makubwa ambapo mvua ikinyesha hufanya vidimbi mithili ya
machimbo ya madini yaliyojaa maji baada ya kuachwa wazi. Na zile barabara zisizokuwa

FOR MARKING SCHEME CALL SIR ABRAHAM 0729125181

39
za lami zimeharibika kiasi kwamba ni vigumu kuzitofautisha na njia za ng’ombe kwenye
maeneo kame.Kinachohitajika ni serikali kuzifanyia ukarabati ili kuzirudisha katika
kiwango ambacho zitaweza kufaa tena.
Wananchi pia inafaa waelimishwe ili wasikubali kuingia kwenye magari ambayo
tayari yamejaaa kupita kiasi. Hili litawasaidia wananchi wenyewe kudumisha usalama wao
barabarani. Pia inafaa watambue ya kwamba wana jukumu la kuwaarifu walinda usalama
endapo dereva anaendesha kwa kasi sana kuliko ile ya kilomita 80 kwa saa iliyokubaliwa.
Inafahamika kuwa maafisa wa uslama ndio wafisadi zaidi, hivyo basi huchangia
katika kuongeza idadi ya vifo barabarani. Katika vita dhidi ya ufisadi na ajali za barabarani,
ni mwananchi mwenyewe ambaye anawezesha kukomesha hali hii. Kwa mfano, afisa wa
usalama akipatikana akichukua hongo, yeye pamoja na yule aliyetoa hongo wapelekwe
kwenye vituo vya kukabiliana na ufisadi na wachukuliwe hatua kali, matatizo haya
yataisha.
Lakini kabla kufika hapo, ni muhimu kumhamasisha mwananchi kuhusu haki zake
na namna ya kukabiliana na suala hili la ufisadi. Hali hii inatuonyesha kwamba mipango
maalum inapaswa kufanywa na serikali ili kuwaelimisha wananchi kama hatua ya kwanza
ya kukabiliana na ufisadi hatimaye izilainishe sekta zote wala si ya uchukuzi na
mawasiliano pekee.
