Walimu walimweleza mzazi wa Pendo vile mwanao alivyopotoka zaidi ya kuwa na vipawa adinu. Waliwaeleza pia kuhusu Maria. "Huyu mtoto wa kitajiri ndiye anayempotosha Pendo. Ni lazima aachane naye kabisa ili afaulu katika maisha ya baada "Mwalimu mkuu alisema.

Babake Pendo aliposikia jina Maria likitajwa alianza kutafakari. “Mbona jina hili si geni kwangu?" Alijisaili moyoni. Jina lilo lilifanana n a mtoto wa mwajiri wake hata ingawa majina hufanana. Hakuona uwezekano wa mtoto wa mwajiri wake kuwa ndiye aliyemharibu mwanawe. Vilevile, hakuona kama kuna uwezekano kuwa mtoto wa tajiri angesomea hapo. .

Musa, babake Pendo, hakujua alikosomea mtoto wa kiwajiri wake. Hata hivyo, fikra na jina hilo zilimtatiza kwa muda baba mtu. Baada ya muda mapi kupita, Musa alimuuliza mwalimu jinsi ya kumsaidia Pendo. Mwalimu mkuu alieleza kwamba jambo lilo lingesuluhishwa vizuri kwa kuwahusisha wazazi wa Maria.

Mwalimu alielezea kwamba wazazi wa Maria walikuwa mabwanyenye katika mitaa ya kifahari Dhahiri shahiri kuwa haingekosa kuwa yule alikuwa mwajiri wake. Hakutaka mwalimu ajue hivyo licha ya kuwa hisia zake zilidhihisha mengi.

Mwishowe waliagana kwamba Pendo alipaswa kusauriwa na mwalimu na angeripoti katika ofisi ya mwalimu kila alasiri. Pia alipaswa kuadhibiwa kwa kosa lake la kutoroka na ashauriwe barabara na mwalimu kabla ya kwenda kulala.

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

A neurosurgeon has been suspended for opening up the head of the wrong patient in one of the worst cases of medical malpractice to become public at Moi Referral Hospital.

Two men had been wheeled into the facility unconscious last weekend. One needed brain surgery to remove a blood clot in his brain while the other only required medical attention to heal a trauma swelling in his head, medically known as closed head injury.

However, a horror mix-up of identification tags saw the wrong man wheeled into theatre and his skull opened. Doctors did not realise the mistake until hours into the surgery, when they discovered there was no blood clot in the brain of the man sprawled on the operating table.

They had cut open the head of the wrong patient in a dizzying case of medical malpractice that once again casts the spotlight on the country's biggest referral hospital.

The mix-up also raises questions about pre-surgery procedures in Kenyan hospitals, especially on how to ensure the right patient is operated at the right place. It also calls to question doctors' lack of commitment to their patients to ensure they receive the care they need to get well. The competence and organisation of the doctors is in question

The Daily Nation, which investigated the scandal since Wednesday, will not publish details of the patients out of respect for their privacy and because it was not clear yesterday If their families had been informed of the operation.

Last evening, hospital management threw out this report by dramatically having security guards escort her out of the premises for making enquiries about the incident.

In an effort to limit the damage following our enquiries, the hospital's chief operating officer Ms Lily issued a statement announcing the suspension of four medics who were at work on the fateful night. They included the neurosurgeon, the ward nurse, theatre receiving nurse and the anaesthetics.

"The management has suspended the admission rights of a neurosurgery registrar and issued him with a show-cause letter for apparently operating on the wrong patient," said Ms Lily.

The fact that Ms Lily was referring to the operation as "apparent" is probably an indication that the hospital was unwilling to publicly admit the error, and also that some of its procedures may have put the welfare of patients at risk.
