Enco la Mafuko lilipakana na mbuga ya wanyama ya 'T'unza. Wakazi wengi walikuwa wakulima na wafugaji. Sehemu hiyo ilijaliwa udongo wenye rutuba na mvua ya kutosha msimu baada ya msimu. Mimca ya kila aina ilinawiri na kushiba rangi ya chanikiwiti iliyokoza. Wazee kwa vijana walijawa na siha kutokana na lishe bora. Ukarimu wa wenyeji hawa ulipigiwa mfano karibu na mbali.

Chambilecho wahenga hakuna masika yasiyokuwa na mbu. Licha ya neema iliyoletwa na hali nzuri ya anga, wakazi walikabiliwa na changamoto moja. Wanyamapori walifika kijijini mara kwa mara na kuharibu mazao shambani. Ilibidi wakazi wakeshe mashambani mwao ili kuwinda ndovu, nyani, na viboko waliotoka mbugani kuja kujichumia mashambani humo. Mgogoro huo wa binadamu na wanyamapori haukusababisha uharibifu wa mali tu bali pia majeraha na mauaji ya wakazi. Ilibidi hatua mwafaka zichukuliwe ili kukabiliana na hali ile.

Alasiri moja, Bwana Chifu aliwaita wakazi katika mkutano. Mbiu ya mgambo ilipigwa nao wakazi wakaitikia kwa kauli moja mwito wa kiongozi wao. Yamkini walifahamu fika kuwa mtu hakatai mwito bali aitiwalo. Waliketi chini ya miti iliyokuwa uwanjani wakatega masikio yao ndi.

Bwana chifu alianza kwa kuwapa wananchi nafasi ya kueleza shida zao. Walitaja mambo mengi kama vile ukosefu wa maji safi, kuzagaa ovyo kwa mabiwi ya taka na uharibifu uliosababishwa na wanyamapori. Hatimaye Bwana Chifu aliwaomba wapendekeze suluhisho mwafaka kwa masaibu yao. Wengi walisimama kadamnasi na kuongea kwa ukali, "Serikali imezembea! Kwa nini tukiwaua wanyama tunatiwa mbaroni ilhali binadamu akiumia hatua za dharura hazichukuliwi? Tangu lini mnyama akawa na thamani kuliko binadamu? Lazima tulipwe fidia! Fidia!" Hapo umati ulilipuka kwa makofi.

Ni katika hali hiyo ambapo kijana mmoja aliunyosha sana mkono wake. Kwa idhini ya Bwana Chifu, akapewa nafasi ya kueleza hoja zake. "Wakazi wenzangu, ninasikitika kwa masaibu yanayotusibu. Hakika eneo letu limefikwa na changamoto chungu nzima katika siku za hivi karibuni. Hata hivyo, ashakum si matusi, dhiki zetu ni kama mwiba wa kujichoma ambao hauambiwi pole." Hapo alitua kidogo kutazama athari ya maneno kwa hadhira.

Baada ya muda aliendelea, "Hebu tujiulize, mabiwi ya taka tunayolalamikia yanatapakazwa na nani? Ukitokea utovu wa usalama, wahalifu wanatoka wapi? Tena, ni kina nani wanaovunja ua ulioizingira mbuga ili waingize mifugo, kukata kuni na kuchoma makaa kiholela? Majangili wanaowaangamiza ndovu, vifaru,chui na mbogo wanatoka wapi? Tukiweza kuyajibu maswala haya tutakuwa tumepiga hatua kubwa katika kuiondolea mbali dhiki inayotukumba". Kijana alihitimisha kauli yake hadi akatembea taratibu hadi lilipokuwa kundi la vijana wenzake. Umati ulimzindikiza kwa macho kimyakimya kisha makofi, shangwe, vifijo na nderemo zikafuatia...

Maneno ya kijana yalizua mjadala mkali miongoni mwa wakazi. Mwishowe waliafikiana kuchukua hatua zifaazo badala ya kuilalamikia tu serikali. Walielewa kuwa mambo ni kikoa. Halikadhalika, walikubaliana kuwafichua wote walioonyesha mienendo ya kutiliwa shaka miongoni mwao.

Bwana Chifu alijiunga kwa kuchangia ajenda ya siku hiyo kwa uwazi.Alihaidi kuwa ofisi yake isingelegeza kamba katika kuwachukulia hatua wote walioshiriki maovu yaliyotishia kuiangamiza jamii. Hatimaye, umati ulifumukana huku kila mmoja akijiahidi kimoyomoyo kufanya jambo lifaalo,

Je, umewahi kuwaza kuhusu umuhimu wa utunzaji wa mazingira? Pengine jibu lako kwa swali hili ni 'ndiyo'. Hata hivyo, nikikuuliza kuhusu mchango wa vijana katika kuyahifadhi mazingira utatatizika kujibu swali hili. Hii ni kwa sababu vijana, hususan watoto wa shule hudhani kwamba shughuli za uhifadhi wa mazingira zinahitajika kuendelezwa na serikali au watu wa makamo.

Ni dhahiri kwamba watoto wa shule wana nafasi bora ya kuyatunza mazingira. Wakiwa shuleni, wanaweza kujihusisha katika shughuli ndogondogo za kuyanadhifisha mazingira yao. Mathalani, wanaweza kukata nyasi, kukusanya na kuchoma taka, kufagia na kupiga deki madarasa yao. Halikadhalika, wanafunzi wanaweza kuanzisha vyama ambavyo vitaendeleza shughuli za kupambana na uharibifu wa mazingira. Hakika wapo wanafunzi ambao, kwa kuelekezwa na walimu walezi, wameanzisha vyama vya walinda mazingira. Wanafunzi hawa hutenga muda wao wa mapumziko kusafisha mazingira si shuleni mwao tu bali pia katika ujirani wa shule. Isitoshe, kwa vile wanafunzi wana ushawishi mkubwa ya hulka kwa wenzao, wanaweza kuwazindua na kuwahamasisha wengine dhidi inayopalilia uharibifu wa mazingira.

Fauka ya hayo, wanafunzi wanaweza kushiriki katika shughuli za upanzi wa miti shuleni na hata katika maeneo mengine. Hili litasaidia katika kuhifadhi misitu na vyanzo vya maji. Kupitia kwa upanzi wa miti, wanafunzi wanashiriki katika juhudi za serikali za kuchangia utoaji wa chakula kwa binadamu na wanyama. Vilevile, upandaji huu wa miti utasaidia kuyafanya mazingira kuwa ya kuvutia kwa wanafunzi na hata wanajamii wengine. Ikumbukwe pia kuwa juhudi za wanafunzi za kupanda miti zitawahakikishia wanyama kama vile tumbili makao.

Juu ya hayo, wanafunzi wanaweza kuanzisha miradi ya kuyatunza mazingira ili kuifaidi jamii. Kwa mfano, wanaweza kupanda vitalu vya miche ambayo watawauzia watu. Pia, ikiwa kuna vijito na vidimbwi shuleni mwao, vinaweza kunadhifishwa na kutumiwa kufugia wanyama wa majini kama vile samaki. Hii ni njia mufti ya jamii kujiinua kiuchumi. Wanafunzi wanaposhiriki katika shughuli hizi hujifunza stadi za kujitegemea maishani. Kadhalika, wanafunzi wawa hawa wana nafasi kubwa ya kuhifadhi wanyama wadogo wa kufuga. Wanaweza kuanzisha chama cha ufugaji wa kuku, bata na hata sungura. Litakuwa jambo la kuchangamsha kumpata kijana mdogo akionea fahari idadi kubwa va yeye na wenzake wamefuga chini ya uelekezi wa mwalimu wao haitakuwa ajabu hata wao katika maonyesho ya kimataifa ya kuwaona wanafunzi hawa wakiwapeleka kilimo!

Manaa kuu kuhusu umuhimu wa kuhifadhi mazingira huhitaji kusambazwa na kurithishwa. Nyimbo na mashairi yanayotungwa na wanafunzi ni nyenzo kuu za kutekeleza hayo. Wanafunzi wanaposhiriki katika tamasha za muziki hubuni nyimbo zinazosifu mbinu chanya za uhifadhi wa mazingira. Nyimbo hizi pia hutumiwa kukashifu wale ambao wanaendeleza uharibifu wa mazingira. Kwa mfano, zipo nyimbo ambazo huonya dhidi ya kuendeleza kilimo kinachochangia katika mmomonyoko wa udongo. Pia, katika hafla hizi, wanafunzi hutumia uigizaji kuonyesha madhara ya uwindaji haramu, uchomaji wa misitu na upandaji wa miti itakayokausha vyanzo vya maji.

Mtoto akibebwa hutazama kisogo cha nina, Nao wanajamii hawana budi kuwa kielelezo chema kwa vijana. Ikiwa watu wazima ndio vigogo wa uharibifu wa mazingira, kwa manufaa yao, juhudi za vijana zitaambulia patupu

Read the passage below and then answer questions 26 to 38.

For some time, the villagers had lived under great fear. Raiders had almost taken control of all the village activities. Women who were notorious for leaving the market at dusk realised they had to change and so as the sun sank below the horizon, trade at the markets also got concluded. No one walked in darkness and whoever did would not feel at case until they reached their destination. However, no one had been
warned against this.

We had come from a long journey. We had covered hills and valleys and our feet were sore but we could not afford to stop. As the sun started going down, our moods changed. We hastened our steps but it was no use. We had left late and would not arrive home before ten o'clock, however fast we walked. No one talked, not even Ken, who always found fun in everything, including his own misery.
Some paths were rocky and narrow and so we had to walk in a single file. We avoided this as much as we could, though, because hardly any of us liked being in the rear. We heard crickets and frogs, dogs and jackals and occasionally hyenas. The sound that were dreaded most, however, was that of screaming men and women because we knew what it would signify.
we

We were beginning to relax for two reasons. The village was not that far anymore and the arcas known to be dangerous were already behind us. Then, heard a sound, too strange for any us to attribute to any known creature. It could neither be a human being nor a bull; we all froze on our tracks as if that was the safest thing to do. I must have stopped breathing temporarily and my knees felt so weak that had I been alone, maybe, I would have collapsed. By instinct, we found ourselves darting into the bushes along the path and going flat on the ground.

Then, we heard more of the strange sounds and for some time, we believed we had come face to face with the ruthless raiser, for the first time. I could distinctly hear the voice of a man, talking in a low murmur; but the other sounds were so muffled up that either due to fear, inexperience or both, I was completely unable to identify.

A shadow figure started coming towards us. From a distance, I could see it struggling drunkenly but the voice was too strong. Fearing for the worst, the whole party jumped from their hiding places, running and screaming in all directions. My throat felt too dry to utter a squawk and waited to die there. The 'thing' kept coming towards me and I closed my eyes. Then, I heard another sound-the type I could not mistake for anything else. It was the bleating of a ram.

The man walked past me, struggling with the ram. It's like it had strayed away and he was leading it home and I identified the man as Mike, my own uncle!

Read the passage below and then answer questions 39 to 50.

The word 'justice' is usually associated with courts of law. We might say that justice has been done when a man's innocence or guilt has been proven beyond doubt. Justice is part of the complex machinery of the law. Those who seek it undertake an arduous journey and can never be sure that they will find it. Judges, however wise or eminent, are human and can make mistakes.

There are rare instances when justice almost ceases to be an abstract conception. Reward or punishment is meted out quite independent of human interference. At such times, justice acts like a living force. When we use a phrase like 'it serves him right,' we are, in part admitting that a certain set of circumstances has enabled justice to act of its own accord.

When a thief was caught on the premises of a large fur store one morning, the shop assistants must have found it impossible to resist the temptation to say it serves him right.' The shop was an old-fashioned one with many large, dormant fireplaces and tall, narrow chimneys. Towards midday, a girl heard a muffled cry coming from behind one of the walls. As the cry was repeated several times, she ran to tell the. manager who promptly rang up the fire-brigade. The cry had certainly come from one of the chimneys, but as there were so many of them, the firemen could not be certain which one it was. They located the right chimney by tapping on the walls and listening for the man's cries. After chipping through a wall which was eighteen inches thick, they found that a man had been trapped in the chimney. As it was extremely narrow, the man was unable to move, but the firemen were eventually able to free him by cutting a huge hole in the wall. The sorry-looking, blackened figure that emerged, at once admitted that he had tried to break into the shop during the night but had got stuck in the chimney. He had been there for nearly ten hours. Justice had been done even before the man was handed over to the police.
