Once upon a time, a woman who was pregnant and about to give birth went to the bush to collect
firewood. On went to the bush to collect firewood. On reaching the bush, she suddenly gave birth
to a baby boy who was so deformed and ugly that she decided to exchange it for another baby. A
normal – looking one she found abandoned and crying in a nearby thicket. She didn’t know that
this baby was a spirit called Ekipie by the Turkana.
The woman returned home with the baby and since it was evening time, she had to milk the
cows. So as usual, she took three gourds and filled them with milk from the numerous cows they
owned. She put the milk containers in her hut where her eldest daughter was minding the new
baby. Then she went out again to complete some of her other chores.
Later, when she returned to the hut where she had left the baby, she found to her dismay, that
there was no milk at all. All the three guards were empty. Surprised, and shocked, she questioned
her daughter about the milk and what had happened to it. The girl replied;
“The baby has drunk it all”.
“I cant belief such a tale. It’s ridiculous for you to say such a thing”, She scolded her daughter.
“Don’t tell lies. Admit you are just imagining things. Who drank the milk?”

The woman persistent in questioning her daughter in questioning her daughter who swore it was
the baby.
Strange as it may sound to you, the same thing happened again the following day and a several
consecutive days. The woman grew puzzled and confused. Her husband too began to complain
about the non – availability of milk in the household. Now, the woman had no alternative but to
tell him the truth.

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.

Page 92 of 190
FOR MARKING SCHEMES,CALL/WHATSAPP +254 746 711 892
 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.

Habari kuwa watoto chini ya miaka mitatu ‘huwindwa’ kitandani na kuraushwa na wazazi wao waende
shuleni mwendo wa saa kumi na moja asubuhi ni za kusikitisha.

Page 115 of 190

FOR MARKING SCHEMES,CALL/WHATSAPP +254 746 711 892
Kwa mujibu wa ripoti za wataalamu wa elimu ya watoto wachanga (ECD), watoto hao hutakikana kuwa
darasani kabla ya saa kumi na mbili asubuhi.
Wanapowasili wao huanza kufukuza ratiba ya masomo ambayo huwapatia muda mfupi mno wa kula,
kucheza, kupumzika na hata kuchunguza afya na usalama wao.
Badala ya kuondoka mapema kuelekea nyumbani, wengi wao hufika saa za usiku pamoja na wazazi wao
wakitoka kazini. Wanapowasili nyumbani wanapaswa kuoga na kupata chakula cha jioni kwa pupa ili
wafanye mazoezi waliyopewa na walimu wao.
Mazoezi hayo huwa ya masomo yote matano huku kila somo likiwa na zaidi ya maswali thelathini. Badala
ya kupumzika mwishoni mwa juma, watoto hao huhitjika kuhudhuria shule siku nzima ya Jumamosi.
Jumapili wanatakiwa Kanisani na hali hii hujirudia mpaka muhula umalizike. Ikiwa ulidhani watapewa nafasi
ya kupumzika wakati wa likizo , umekosea kwa sababu watoto hao huhitajika kuhudhuria shule. Hili
limekuwa likiendelea hata baada ya Wizara ya Elimu kupiga marufuku kusomesha wakati wa likizo.
Wazazi-hasa wale wanaofanya kazi mijini- wamekuwa wakiunga mkono mtindo huu kwa sababu
unawaondolea mzigo wa malezi na gharama ya kuwaajiri walezi.
Wataalamu wanasema matokeo ya hali hii ni watoto wakembe wenye afya na maadili mabaya kutokana na
kuchanganyishwa akili na walimu wanaowataka wajue kila kitu wakiwa na umri mdogo.
Kuwashinikiza watoto wakembe wahudhurie shule na zaidi ya hayo wajue kila kitu kuna madhara mengi.
Kwanza kabisa, kuraushwa kwa watoto macheo waende shule kunawanyima fursa ya kulala na kupumzika.
Utafiti unaonyesha kuwa watoto wanahitaji kulala na kupumzika kwa zaidi ya saa 12 kwa siku. Hii ina maana
kuwa mbali na muda mfupi wanaolala na kupumzika mchana kutwa, watoto wanapaswa kutumia usiku
mzima kwa usingizi.
Hii huwasaidia kukua wakiwa na afya nzuri hasa kiakili. Matokeo ya kuwarausha watoto hao waende shule
saa hizo huwafanya wakose furaha mbali na kuwafanya wachanganyikiwe kiakili.
Pili, kuwalazimisha watoto wakae darasani kuanzia saa kumi na mbili asubuhi hadi saa kumi na mbili jioni
huwa kunawanyima fursa ya kucheza na kutangamana. Wataalamu wa afya ya watoto wanapendekeza kuwa
watoto wachanga wanapaswa kucheza ili viungo vya miili yao kama moyo, akili, mapafu na kadhalika
vifanye kazi vizuri.
Kinyume na watu wazima ambao hufanya kazi nzito nzito na kuwawezesha kufanya mazoezi, watoto huwa
hawafanyi kazi hizo. Wazazi na walimu wanapaswa kufahamu kuwa kazi ya watoto ni mchezo na wana kila
haki ya kupewa furaha ya kucheza wakiwa shuleni na hata nyumbani.

FOR MARKING SCHEMES,CALL/WHATSAPP +254 746 711 892
 Tatu, wazazi wengi ambao hufurahia kuwaachia walimu jukumu la kuwalea watoto wao huku wao wakiwa
kazini huwa wanasahau kuwa sio kila mwalimu ana maadili yanayopaswa kuigwa na mwanawe. Ingawa
tunawatarajia walimu wawe mifano bora ambayo inaweza kuigwa na kila mtu, ukweli ni kwamba baadhi ya
walimu hawajui maana wala hawana maadili. Hatari ni kwamba watoto wakembe husoma kwa kuiga
wakubwa wao na ikiwa walimu wanaoshinda nao shule wamepotoka kimaadili, kuna uwezekano mkubwa
wa watoto hao kupotoka pia. Hii ndiyo sababu wazazi wengi wamekuwa wakilalamika kuwa wanawao tabia
mbaya ambazo hawaelewi zilipotoka.
Kila mzazi anayejali maisha ya mwanawe anapaswa kutekeleza jukumu lake la kumlea na kumwelekeza jinsi
anavyotaka akue. Ni kinaya kuwa wanawatarajia wanawao wawe na tabia na maadili kama yao ilhali
hawachukui muda wa kukaa nao na kuwaelekeza.
Nne, kuwawinda, kuwaamsha, kuwaosha na kuwalazimisha watoto waende shule kila siku hata ingawa
hawataki huwa kunawafanya wawe wategemezi wasioweza kujipangia na kutekeleza mambo kivyao.

2.SOMA TAARIFA KISHA FUPISHA KWA MUJIBU WA MASWALI YAFUATAYO.

Uwezo wa kuyakumbuka mambo ni hazina kuu kutoka kwa mtu yeyote yule aliye hai. Uwezo huu wa
kukumbuka ni mojawapo ya shughuli changamano za ubongo. Ubongo wa mwanadamu hutekeleza shughuli hii
kwa namna tatu. Kwanza ubongo hunasa jambo kisha huliihifadhi. Baadaye huanzisha mfumo wa kutoa kilicho
hifadhiwa. Ubongo ukiathirika kwa namna yeyote katika moja wapo ya njia hizi, basi uwezo wa kuyakumbuka
mambo huvurugika.
Ingawa inaaminika kuwa uwezo wa kukumbuka hurithishwa toka kizazi kimoja hadi kingine, wataalamu wa
maswala ya kiakili wanabaini kuwa uwezo huu unaweza kuimarishwa. Uimarishaji huu huhitajika mikakati
madhubuti.
Njia mojawapo ya kustawisha uwezo wa kukumbuka ni kupitia kwa lishe. Vyakula vilivyosheheni vitamini B
vyenye amino asidi husaidia kuimarisha uwezo wa kukumbuka. Vyakula kama hivi ni mboga, nyama (hasa
maini), bidhaaa za soya, matunda, maziwa, ,bidhaa za ngano, samaki, pamoja na mayai. Vyakula vingine
muhimu katika ustawishaji huu ni vile vyenye madini ya chuma. Madini haya huwezesha usambazaji wa hewa

Page 118 of 190

FOR MARKING SCHEMES,CALL/WHATSAPP +254 746 711 892
katika ubongo kwa wepesi. Vyakula ambavyo vina madina haya ni mboga za kijani, mawele, ndengu, soya,
matunda kama maembe, ufuta (simsim) pamoja na nyama, hasa maini na mayai.
Ubongo wa mwanadamu aliye hai hufanya kazi kila wakati awe macho au amelala. Utendaji kazi wake
huendeshwa na glukosi mwilini. Kwa hivyo, vyakula vyenye sukari hii ni muhimu kuliwa. Hata hivyo, lazima
mtu awe mwangalifu na kuhakikisha kuwa mwili una kiwango cha sukari kisicho hatarisha maisha. Haya
yanawezekana kwa kula vyakula vyenye nyuzinyuzi kama vile mboga na matunda.
Njia ya pili ni kupiga marufuku vileo kama pombe na nikotini. Vileo hivi huathiri utaratibu wa kunasa, kuhifadhi
na kutoa yaliyo ubongoni.
Iwapo mtu ana tatizo la kuyakumbuka majina ya watu, ni muhimu kufanya mazoezi ya
kusikiliza kisha kurudia majina hayo wakati wa mazungumzo. Ni bora kulihusisha
jina na sura
ya mtu. Kwa njia hii ubongo utanasa jina na kile kinacholengwa.
Woga na kuvurugika kiakili ni mambo mengine tunayopaswa kuepuka kila wakati. Ni kawaida mtu kupata woga
wakati anapokabili jambo asilokuwa na uhakika na matokeo yake kama mtihani au mahojiano. Lakini anapaswa
kuwa makini. Woga huo usikiuke mpaka na kumvuruga kiakili. Vurugu hizi huathiri kilichohifadhiwa ubongoni
na pia namna ya kukitoa.
Halikadhalika, mwili wenye siha nzuri huhakikisha kuwa ubongo ni timamu. Wataalamu wengi wa siha
wanakubali kuwa na mazoezi ya kunyoosha viungo hustawisha ubongo na hivyo kuhakikisha kuweko kwa
uwezo wa kukumbuka mambo. Ni muhimu kuwa na taratibu ya kunyoosha viungo kila wakati. Fauka ya hayo,
mazoezi ya kiakili, kama vile kusoma makala yanayovutia, kujaza mraba na michezo mingine kama mafumbo,
vitenzi ndimi ni muhimu katika kustawisha uwezo wa kukumbuka.
Jamii ya watu wenye uwezo kuyakumbuka mambo ni ya jamii iliyopiga hatua kimaendeleo. Ni jukumu la kila
mmoja wetu kuimarisha uwezo wa kukumbuka kila wakati.
