Bwana Aisee aliporejea jijini alifungua ofisi kubwa aliyoipamba kwa samani za hali ya juu. Kisha aliwasiliana na waandishi wa magazeti mbalimbali. Alidai kuwa kulikuwako na mradi kabambe wa kuhakikisha kuwa vijana waliokosa amali wangeajiriwa kazi za maana kwenye hoteli za kitalii huko Uarabuni na Ulaya na hata kwenye meli za kifahari. Viongozi wengi walimshehenezea Bwana Aisee sifa kemkemu, “Huyu ni mzalendo kindakindaki! Anawakumbuka raia wenzake ambao hawana bahati kama yeye!"Vijulanga waliokuwa na hamu na ghamı ya kuenda ugenini walifurika ilipokuwa ofisi yake.

Walichohitajika kufanya tu ni kulipa ada ya shilingi elfu tano pamoja na kiasi kingine kama hicho kugharimia vyeti vya usafiri. Licha ya kuwa wengi wao hawakuwa na namna ya kuzipata pesa hizo, walikuwa radhi kukopa wahakikishe kuwa wamepata nafasi hizo adimu. Vijana hao pia walitakiwa kuenda hospitali fulani ya kibinafsi kufanyiwa uchunguzi wa kimatibabu. "Aisee bwana, huo ndio ustaarabu wa wenzetu walioendelea.. Ukitaka kumwajiri mtu lazima uijue siha yake ikoje," Bwana Aisee. aliwakumbusha. Hamna aliyejali. Kilichokuwa muhimu ni kuwa, baada ya miezi miwili wangepata kazi ambazo zingewafanya waipige kumbo la milele ukata uliotishia kuwagubika kama wingu.

Baada ya kuzikusanya hela hizo zilizolipwa na vijana zaidi ya elfu thelathini, Bwana Aisee aliwaambia wangoje kwa muda wa miezi miwili. Muda waliokuwa wamepewa wa kungoja mambo yaive ukapita. Tarehe ya kusafiri kuenda kuanza kazi zao ikaahirishwa. Taarifa iliyotoka katika ofisi kuu huko ulaya ilidai kuwa kuahirishwa huko kalitokana na hali mbaya ya usalama. Tarehe hizo zilipokwisha kuahirishwa mara nyingine mbili, kila mmoja alianza kutuhumu kuwa palikuwa na jambo. Malalamishi ya kila aina yalianza kusikika kwenye vyombo vya habari. Wakaanza kumsaka Bwana Aisee. Lakini hawakujua kumbe bwana huyo alikuwa ameingia mitini.

Uchunguzi wa historia ya Bwana Aisee ulianza kufanywa. Jamaa waliosoma naye walitoa habari zake zote bila kusaza lolote. Walieleza jinsi alivyokua fundi wa kuongea kizungu. "Lakini huyu si fundi wa kizungu tu bali na mizungu pia!" Walisema wengine kwa hasira walipozisikia habari hizo. Serikali ilianza mipango kabambe ya kumsaka Bwana Aisee. Ilibidi kuwashirikisha wachunguzi wa polisi wa. kimataifa, INTERPOL, katika swala zima. Haikuchukua muda kabla ya kugunduliwa kuwa mashirika yaliyodaiwa kuhusika na suala la ajira hizo yalikuwa bandia.

Mambo yaliendelea kukanganya wakati ofisi ya Bwana Aisee iliyokuwa jijini ilipochomeka siku moja wakati wa usiku na vyeti vyote kuteketea. Nayo hospitali waliyokuwa wameenda kufanyiwa uchunguzi wa kiafya wale walioenda kuomba kazi ilifungwa ghafla na daktari aliyehusika kutoweka. Ilikuwa wazi sasa kuwa watu walikuwa wametapeliwa.

Kashfa hii ilizungumziwa na wengi kote nchini si katika redio wala runinga bali pia magazetini na kwingineko. Adinasi waliapiza. Lakini njia ya mwongo ni fupi. Aisee alibambwa na polisi wa kimataifa alipokuwakatika uwanja wa ndege wa Frankfurt huko Ujerumani akijitayarisha kuabiri ndege kuelekea Afghanistan alikopanga kujificha kwa muda hadi mambo yatulie.

Tarakilishi ama kompyutani kati ya teknoloji mpya ambayo inatumiwa siku hizi karibu kila mahali mathalani katika kampuni kubwakubwa, benki, masoko makubwa, viwandani, viwanja vya ndege, meli, idara za serikali, vyuo, shuleni na kadhalika. Katika shule za upili, tarakilishi ni somo ambalo. linashughulikiwa kuanzia kidato cha kwanza hadi cha nne na hutahiniwa katika mtihani wa kitaifa wa kidato cha nne. Aidha, serikali iko katika harakati za kuwapa vipakatalishi wanafunzi wote wa darasa la kwanza katika shule zote za umma nchini. . .....

Tarakilishi imegawanyika katika sehemu mbili muhimu, programu mfumo na maunzi. Maunzi ni : nenojumlishi ambalo hutumika kwa kurejeleavifaa vyote vya kompyuta kwa mfano kichapishi, kishalekezi. kiwambo au skrini, kipanya m mashine chapishi. Programu mfumo ni neno jumlishi ambalo hurejelea programu zote zinazoweza kutumika katika kompyuta.

Vifaa vinavyotumika katika kompyuta ni vingi. Kiwambo hutumika kwa kuonyesha data ambayo inashughulikiwa, nacho kichapishi hutumika katika kuvugulia data hiyo kwa kompyuta. Kishelekezi ni kifaa ambacho huwaka kikizimika kwenye skrini nacho huashiria mahali ambapo data inayovuguliwa itaingia. Pahali pa kishalekezi panaweza kubadilishwa kwa kutumia kipanya. Kipanya ni kidude chenye mkia mithili ya panya. Baada ya kazi kukamilika nadata kuwa habari mashine chapishi huichapisha. habari hiyo kwenye karatasi ili isomwe na watu wengi iwezekanavyo, pahali penginapahali popote.

Tarakilishi ina sifa nyingi muhimu. Chombo hiki kina uwezo wa kufanya hesabu na kazi nyinginezo kwa kasi sana. Sifa nyingine ni kwamba tarakilishi huhifadhi ujumbe mwingi sana kwa matumizi ya baadaye. Maclekezo huchukuliwa na kuwekwa kwa ajili ya kufuatwana chombo hiki. Mfululizo wa maelekezo haya ndiyo huongoza kompyuta katika wajibu wake na huitwa programu ambayo huandikwa kwa letgha ya kikompyuta. Kompyuta hufuata maelekezo haya kwa kuamshwa na binadamu. Sheria hizi huwa sahili na kompyuta ina uwezo wa kuzitumia ili kufikia uamuzi wa jinsi ya kutenda

Kuwasiliana na mifumo minginc yakompyutani muhimu sana na kompyuta ina uwezo wa kufanya hivyo. Kompyuta huingizwa data ambayo huchakatwa ili kuleta maana, na uzao wa kuchakatwa huku ndio huitwa habari. Programu ni mfumo wa utaratibu ambao umeandikwa kwa lugha ya kikompyuta. Programu huiwezesha kompyuta kuchakata data na kuifanya iwe habari kwa mfano, inaweza kuongeza rumbari mbili au zaidi na kukupa jibu.

Katika kompyuta habari inaweza kuhifadhiwa katika diski ngumu au diski tepetevu. Diskingumu ni nafasi inayopatikana katika kompyuta yenyewe na inaweza kuhifadhi maktaba inzima. Diski tepetevu niile nafasi ambamo disketi huwekwa ili habari inayochakatwa ihifadhiwe kwa disketi. Disketi ni kilaa kidogo mithili ya kaseti. Nafasi hizi za kompyuta zimegawanywa katika viendesha diski kwa mfano ukitaka kuhifadhi habari yako katika diski ngumu, utatumia kiendesha diski A. Ilhali ukitaka kuhifadhi kazi yako katika diski tepetevu utatumia kiendesha diski C.

Kwa hivyo kwa muhtasvi, tunaweza kusema kuwa kompyuta ni kifaa au chombo ambacho hufanya kazi kwa kuongozwa na programu iliyohifadhiwa. Kompyuta hujiendesha yenyewe kwa kukubali na kuchakata data ili iwe habari.

Read the passage below then answer the questions that follow.

Many years ago, baboon was the most boastful ape. He was fast and could jump with ease from one tree to another. Whenever the animals went out to steal crops from man's shamba, baboon would never be caught. He always laughed at his cousins; the monkeys and chimpanzees who would be caught and whipped mercilessly.

"Oh, poor you! How would you be as slow as a tortoise? You should learn to be fast like me whenever you sense danger," he would lease them. The animals once went to steal maize from man's shamba, baboon quickly ate to his full and took a few maize cobs home. He then alerted man from the top of a tall tree. "Hurry up, some thieves are feasting on your maize! Man hurried to the shamba before the animals could escape and shot several of them with poisoned arrows. Baboon watched the drama from the top of the tree with glee.

With time, the other animals got fed up with baboon's behaviour. They avoided him and rarely talked whenever he was within earshot. One afternoon, baboon found monkey peeling a ripe banana, his only meal for that day. Without uttering a word, he grabbed the banana from the monkey. He quickly ate it and when he was done, threw the peel at the poor monkey's face. Shell-shocked, monkey stared at baboon for a moment before asking," surely, why did you do that

"To teach you to be fast when eating delicious bananas," baboon replied. Monkey walked away feeling humiliated as baboon laughed loudly at him. He told other animals what baboon had done to him and they were upset. They decided to put an end to his unacceptable behaviour. They held a sliding competition and gathered on top of a steep hill. The competition involved sitting on the bark of a tree and sliding down a steep hill. The one who would take the shortest time to slide down the hill would emerge the winner

Baboon was upbeat about the competition and boasted he would be the first. Eager to show off his prowess, he sat on the hard bark of a free and made himself comfortable. As he was able to take off, monkey pulled the bark from under his bottoms as chimpanzee shoved him down the hill. Thinking that the animals had done this by mistake, he screamed for help but his pleas fell on deaf ears. The sharp stones and thorns along the steep path were unbearable. They bruised his bottom so much that they felt as though he was sitting on hot charcoal.

Read the passage below then answer the questions that follow.


Kenya's weather patterns are changing. The change in rainfall patterns has a huge impact on Kenya because 98 percent of the country's agriculture is rain fed. The major challenge that farmers face is timing. It is crucial for them to know when rains start and stop so that they know when to plant or harvest their crops. Most parts of Kenya experience two rain seasons, March to May's long rains and October to December's short ones. The months of June to August are mainly cool and dry over most parts of the country, except for some areas in the Western region that get rain.

Hot and dry conditions are normally observed in the entire country in January and February. In recent years, delay in the coming of rains has been the norm. In other years, rains came on time but then stopped earlier than anticipated. Such lead to massive crop failures.

Other than rainfall patterns, studies show a reduction in the amount of rainfall, especially during the March to May long rains period. This is a worrying trend; given that this is the main planting season.

The changes in Kenya's rainfall pattern have been linked to climate change. Global warming is known to cause an overall warming in the atmosphere and the ocean, resulting in complex shifts that affect our planet's weather and climate systems. Research shows that rainfall is reducing while temperatures are on the rise in Kenya, as is the case in other countries in the Horn of Africa.

In the case of Kenya's delayed rains, another culprit has also been identified; cyclones. It is normal for cyclones to happen on the Southern African Coast between February and March. But their magnitude is dictated by sca surface temperatures. These warm as a result of increased emission of green-house gases in the atmosphere leading to global warming. This means the intensity and frequency of cyclones is likely to increase.

The most recent cyclones was Idai and it occurred in the Western Indian Ocean in March last year.

The cyclone caused a depression - low pressure zone - in the ocean, cutting off moisture from flowing from the Southern hemisphere to East Africa. Cyclone Idai delayed the Northward progression of the rain-bearing low pressure zone, also known as the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone.

This limited the moisture flow from reaching Kenya, leading to the observed seasonal rainfall delay that strengthened anomalous dryness from early mid-March last year. A combination of failed rainfall and the observed high temperatures adversely impact agricultural activities across many parts of the country.
