 “You have agreed that I am the strongest of all the Beasts”. With
my tusks, I can tear through the thickest forest. Trees are like twigs
to me” he trumpeted.
“You may be strong,” roared the lion, “but nothing compares to
my bravery. It is because I am brave that I am the king of the
forest.”
“Not at all. Brains are more important than bravery and more
strength,” said the fox. “I live extremely well just by my wits.”
“To be able to crash through woods, or leap into thin air, or sneak
into the chicken yard is worthless compared to beauty,” said the
peacock. He demonstrated this by preening his colorful feathers in
a dance. All this while, an ugly toad, whom no man had ever
hunted, had been listening to the beasts bragging. “Men kill the
elephant to make boxes and jewellary from the ivory of his tusks,”
he said. “They hunt the lion and decorate their walls with his skin
because his courage leads him to prey on their heard. Because he
can find his way into the farmyard the fox’s far is used on the
collar of a robe. The peacocks’ glorious blue gold feathers are used
to make a fan for a lady. It is what you boast of that is indeed your
downfall.”

 1.Comprehension (20marks)
Read the passage below and then answer the questions that follow
People must be careful the kind of personal information they post on sites. It is
difficult to imagine life in what seems like a century ago without the internet
and the cell phone. Just how did we manage our lives before the age of instant
communication at a fraction of the cost of the landline?
As a little child in 1960’s, I could not visualize what my teenage sons do with
technology today.

Could I have even dreamt of a cell phone, a device that I could have taken to
school with me and been able to chat with my friends wherever I was and
whenever I wanted? You know the answer. However, today’s heaven of instant
communication can easily turn into the hell of deadly sin. I mean quite literally.

Instant communication devices and portable entertainment products could of

course be addictive to anybody, but such addiction can be particularly
destructive to young people in school. They can distract students from
homework and house chores. They can also damage ear drums. Think of the
ubiquitous iPod which the youth equate to oxygen without which life is
unsuitable!

I have even seen some grown men behaving like teenagers with iPods! Last
year, a person was killed by a vehicle that spun out of control and hit him as
he crossed the road somewhere in the United States. The footage showed
clearly that the victim could have heard or seen the rogue vehicle had his ears
not been plugged up to loud music.

While I do not want to sound like a Neanderthal, I nevertheless would like to

reflect on the perils of this new gadgetry and technology. The first obvious
point is that not all technology is good. Think of the A-Bomb for example, and
you get my point.

Page 159 of 325

Prefer Calling Sir Obiero Amos @ 0706 851 439 for Marking Schemes
I disagree with those who argue that it is not technology that is bad, but the
users who misapply it. This is how some scientists justify their abdication of
social responsibility. Thus we do not have to buy every little silly gadget that
market puts out. Haven’t you noticed that the companies always time the
release of these gadgets to Christmas, or some other consumer holiday? They
surely know how to apply peer pressure and pit children against parents as a
marketing tool. Sometimes I wonder whether capitalism can be any more
devious!

To be sure I cannot gainsay the benefits of new technologies. The computer

and the internet are without doubt the greatest inventions of our age.
Information and knowledge that was inaccessible just several decades ago is
now a click away even in the remotest village in the world. And it is all quite
cheap. Access to information and knowledge is being democratized in a way
that was unthinkable just a few decades ago. Think about the revolution of the
cell phone for the individual communication and business transactions.
Landlines are becoming virtually obsolete. It is this revolution that should lift
millions out of poverty in the near future.

But these advances come with perilous clouds over them. I particularly, I want
to focus on social networking sites and the dangers of the instant transmission
of information and images. We have known for a long time that the internet is
the new Wild West where everything goes.
Countries that are afraid of democracy and dissent, like China or Syria, limit,
monitor, control, censure or deny access to the internet. They claim they must
keep at bay pornography and sexual predators like pedophiles who troll the
interment with demonic schemes. These are real problems, but do not think
that censorship is the answer. Cyber surveillance by law enforcement and the
prosecution of these malignant forces is the only effective and civilized
response.

But individuals must themselves act responsibly. Ultimately, the pivot of any
democracy responsible citizen action. This is where parents, civil society and

Page 160 of 325

Prefer Calling Sir Obiero Amos @ 0706 851 439 for Marking Schemes
the media come in. Take Face Book, the wildly popular social networking site,
for example. Some of the things I have seen there are downright stupid,
dangerous, malevolent or just plain crazy. Teenagers on these sites sometimes
communicate with imposters bent on luring the naïve to a dead end. How many
times have we seen reports of some 60-year-old pervert posing as a teen? Even
scarier, how many times have we read about such rendezvous ending in a
fatality? There are other less deadly, but very destructive dangers. Prospective
employers are increasingly looking into social networking sites for personal
information about applicants. Even some colleges are snooping around for
information about prospective students. There are reports that some people
have been rejected because of the personal information they posted to the sites.
Such information has ranged from lurid pictures to abusive language.

This means that young folks must be very careful about posting intimate details
including personal pictures and other personal data such as birth dates, personal
ID numbers and home address on such sites. Such information about yourself
can only hurt you if displayed for the entire world to see. Teenagers need to be
particularly careful about the new fad of “sexting”. This is an epidemic in New
York among teenagers. Teens and other young people are sending nude
pictures of themselves to their friends or lovers. A large number of such
pictures have been shared widely beyond the intended audience. In one case, a
child whose nude pictures were revealed took her own life. It can cause untold
grief.

Nora: He must, Christine. Just leave it to me; I will broach the subject
very cleverly- I will think of something that will please him very much.
It will make me so happy to be of some use to you.

Mrs. Linde: How kind you are, Nora, to be so anxious to help me! It is
doubly kind of you, for youknow so little of the burdens and troubles of
life.

Nora: I -? I know so little of them?

Mrs. Linde: (Smiling) My dear! Small household cares and that sort of
thing! - You are a child,Nora.

Nora: (tosses her head and crosses the stage) You ought not to be
so superior, Mrs. Linde: No?
Nora: You are just like the others. They all think that I am incapable of
anything really serious-
Mrs. Linde: Come, come –
Nora: - that I have gone through nothing in this world of cares.
Mrs. Linde: But, my dear Nora, you have just told me all your troubles.
Nora: Pooh! – those were trifles. (Lowering her voice) I have not told
you the important thing.
Mrs. Linde: The important thing? What do you mean?
Nora: You look down upon me altogether, Christine – but you ought not
to. You are proud, aren’t you, of having worked so hard and so long for
your mother?

Mrs. Linde: Indeed, I don’t look down on anyone. But it is true that I am
both proud and glad to think that I was privileged to make the end of my
mother’s life almost free from care. Nora: And you are proud to think of
what you have done for your brothers?
Mrs. Linde: I think I have the right to be.
Nora: I think so, too. But now, listen to this: I too have something to be
proud and glad of. Mrs. Linde: I have no doubt you have. But what do
you refer to?
Nora: Speak low. Suppose Torvald were to hear! He mustn’t on any
account – no one in the world must know, Christine, except you.

Mrs. Linde: But what is it?

Nora: Come here. (Pulls her down on the sofa beside her.)

Plant, squash and spinach, turnips and tomatoes;

ushuru(KRA),benki kuu ya Kenya (CBK),na tume ya kupambana na ufisadi
(KACC).usimamizi wa asasi hizi huwa mhimu sana katika kuamua hatima ya

Soma makala yafuatayo kisha ujibu maswali

HAKI ZA MKENYA KIKATIBA

Kumnyima mtu nafasi na kufanya mikutano popote ni kinyume cha
sheria za Kenya hasa zinavyopatoikana katika katiba.kila mwnanch ana
haki ya kutangamana na uhuru kuhudhuria mikutano yoyote.

Ningetaka kurejelea baadhi ya haki hizi ili ziweze kueleweka na

wakenya wengi.itauwa kwamba sheria ya haki za binadamu
inamhakikishia mtu haki na uhuru bila khusisha kabila,makazi maoni ya
kisiasa,imani ya sisa,rangi au jinsia yake(mke au mume).haki zinazolinda
katiba ya Kenya ni nyingi.

Katuiba ya Kenya inasema kuwa kila mtu ana haki kuwa hai na hakuna
mtu anaeza kupoteza uhai wake makusudi,isipokuwa katika utekelezaji
wa hukumu ya kifo iliyopitishwa na mahakma.

Hata hivyo,kuuwa kwa mtu yeyote hakuchukuliwi kuwa uvunjaji wa haki

za kimsingi ni:katika kujitetea au katika kutetea mali,au:wakati wa
kutiwa nguvuni kisheria,kuzuiwa aliyezuiliwa kisheria kutoroka au

Page 214 of 325

Prefer Calling Sir Obiero Amos @ 0706 851 439 for Marking Schemes
katika kukomesha ghasia,maasai au mgomo,au:ili kuzuia mtu ana
uhalifu,au:katika tukio la vitu vilivyotangzwa kisheria,hata mwizi sugu
sugu analindwa na katiba na haki zake zote.

Kitu cha kusikitisha ni kwamba wananchi wengi hawana imani na

Mahakam zetu,na kwamba hujichukulia sheria mikononi pindi
wanapokumbana na wezi.hapo ndipo hutokea kitendo cha hawa
wananchi wenye hamasa na wezi huopigwa na kuuawa popo hapo.

Uwezekano wa kumuuumiza mtu asiyekuwa na hatia ni wa

kweli.aghalabu,raia wapiti njia huchukuliwa kama wezi n ahuweza
kuumia bure bilashi.

Haki nyingine inayolindwa na katiba ni haki ya uhuru wa mtu binafsi.hii

ina maaana ya uhuru wa mtu kutofungwa jela au kutiwa kizuizini bila
sababau yoyote.mtu anapokamatwa au kuzuiwa mujibu wa sheria,hapo
mtu huyo ananyang’anywa haki hii.

Kwa mujibu wa sheria,mtu hatatiwa nguvuni au kuzuiliwa

isipokuwa:kupitia utekelezaji hu au amri ya utekelezaji wa hukumu au
amri iliyotolewa kwake kwa mujibu wa amri ya mahakama kwa
madhumuni ya kupelekwa jela ya mahakama au kisheria,au:kukiwa na

Page 215 of 325

Prefer Calling Sir Obiero Amos @ 0706 851 439 for Marking Schemes
tuhuma ya kutosha kwa ametenda au alikuwa karibu kutenda kosa la
uhalifu.

Kadhalika,mtu hukamatwa au kuzuiliwa akiwa mwenye umri wa miaka

chini ya 18 kwa madhumuni kumpeleka shuleni,au:kwa madhumuni ya
kuzuia usambazaji wa ugonjwa wa kuambukiza au kuml na kumtibu mtu
ambaye ana sababu ya kutosha la uhalifu.

Atashikwa pia akiwa ni mraibu wa dawa za kulevya au pombe,au

mzururaji asiyekuwa mahali maaalumu pa kuishi au katika kumzuia
kuingia Kenya kinyume cha sheria au katika kutekeleza amri ya
kumfukuza,kumrudisha kwao ili afikishwe mahakamani au kumwondoa
nchini Kenya.

Mtu aliyetiwa nguvuni au kuzuiliwa lazima ajulishwe upesi

iwezekanavyo sababu ya hatua hiyo.katiba inatoa uhakika wa kesi
kuendeshwa haraka,haki ya kuwasiliana na mahakimu na haki ya
dhamana.

Kwa bahati mbay,tunajua hii huvunjwa panapotumika sheria

zinazokandamiza.mara kwa mara tumesikia wananchi wengi hutiwa
nguvuni na kuzuiliwa kwa muda mrefu bila kufikiswa mahakamani.

 Mbinu mojawapo itumikayo ni kuwahamisha washukiwa kutoka kitua
kimoja ch apolisi hadi kingine.kitendo hiki ni kinyume kabisa na katiba.

Isitoshe,tunajua polisi wameweza kuwafungia watu na kuwatesa kwa

muda mrefu.mtu aliyeshikwa ili aletwe mahakamani au kwa sababu kuna
tuhuma tosha ya kuwa ametenda au alikuwa karibu utenda kosa la
uhalifu ni lazima afikishwe mahakamani upesi iwezekanavyo katika
muda wa saa 24 tangu anaswe au katika muda wa siku 14 tangu atiwe
nguvuni,endapo amekamatwa kutokana na tuhuma tosha ya kuwa
ametenda au alikuwa karibu kutenda kosa la uharifu,uuuaji au wizi wa
kutumia nguvu.
