Mengi yamesemwa kuhusu ufisadi. Si wanasiasa, si mapadre, si mashehe, si viongozi wengineo wa jamii, wote wametoa mchango wao juu ya suala hili nyeti. Kila linaloenda mvange, sababuye ufisadi. Nchi haina ustawi, kiini ni ufisadi. Kusambaratika kwa miundomsingi asili yake ni ufisadi.

Je, hapo ulipo unaelewa ufisadi kuwa ni nini? Huenda umewahi kujituliza na kutafakari juu ya ufisadi. Unahusika vipi na ufisadi? Umewahi kuathirika na ufisadi, wewe binafsi au kupitia kwa aila na masahibu? Kila mzalendo halisi anastahili kujisaili nafsi yake kupitia kwa maswali haya.

Wakati unapoendelea kuzingatia maswali hayo hebu tuzame kwenye kina cha ufisadi. Kijelezi cha ufisadi ni ile hali ya kutenda au kushiriki mambo yanayosababisha uharibifu au uborongaji wa kanuni au taratibu zilizokubalika kutekeleza mambo. Katika hali hii, ufujaji na ubanangaji huwa vyombo vya ufisadi. Madhumuni yake ya jumla ni kubatilisha haki, kuvotana na haki na hatimaye kuifanya isifuate mkondo wake sahihi.

Mbegu ya ufisadi ni uchoyo; kimsingi, chimbuko la ufisadi ni ubinafsi uliokithiri. Dhana ya kujiwazia kibinafsi katika shughuli zote ndiyo humpa ubinafsi nishati ya kujiendeleza. Kila mja ana kiwango fulani cha ubinafsi. Hali hii ndiyo hupelekea kujitahidi kwa jino na ukucha ili kujihifadhi na kujiendeleza. Ubinafsi wa aina hii hauna kasoro kwani humpa binadamu msukumo wa kujishughulikia kwa lengo la kijipatia natija inayofaidi aila, jamii na hatimaye taifa kwa jumla.

Uchoyo wa mimi-hiki, mimi-hicho, mimi-kile na hatimaye mimi-kila kitu ni uchuro. Ufisadi nao ni uchuro. Ni dude, jinyama, jipweza lenye minyiri isiyohesabika. Minyiri hiyo imepenyeza katika nyanja zote za maisha ya mtu binafsi na ya taifa kwa jumla. Ufisadi umeshamiri na kuzagaa hadi kufikia kiwango cha kimataifa.

Vuta taswira hali ya waja wazito wawili ambao zao zimewadia. Mmoja anajiweza anawasilishwa hospitalini kwa gari. Wa pili hana mbele wala nyuma amefika kwa miguu au pengine kwa rukwama. Kisia mwenyewe ni nani atakayehudumiwa kwanza. Ukitafiti utagundua kuwa sababu ni ufisadi. Mmoja atatadarukiwa ilhali mwenzake . atakawilishwa. Haya pengine ni kutokana na matumaini ya kupewa bahashishi ambayo kwa kweli ni namna ya hongo. Kumbuka, wahudumu wawa hawa ni waajiriwa wapokeao mishahara mwisho wa mwezi.

Katika amali za biashara, uborongaji wa taratibu unadhihirika hasa katika utoaji wa zabuni za miradi mbalimbali ambapo suala kubwa ni kasma. Kiasi na jinsi ni baada ya kuhakikisha kuwa tenda imeliendea shirika fulani. Kasma lazima ipatikane! Si hoja kuwa pesa za kugharamia miradi hii zimetokana na ruzuku au mikopo kutoka kwa wafadhili. Ghushi za kila aina zitatumiwa ili kasma ipatikane. Katika hali kama hii, si ajabu matokeo ni kuharibika kwa miundomsingi katika sekta mbalimbali zinazohusika na usambazaji wa huduma kwa wananchi.

Ni dhahiri shahiri kuwa kila mmoja anapaswa kujumuika katika kitali hiki dhidi ya ubinafsi, ufisadi na ubanangaji. Sote tukianzia na viongozi, tunapaswa kujifunga nira kupambana na ufisadi. Wananchi wahamasishwe juu ya wajibu wao katika vita hivi vikali. Sote tuzinduke na kufahamu hicho kidogo cha ziada, hiyo fadhili, mapendeleo hayo ambayo msingi wake ni kuvuruga utaratibu yatatuponza. Changamoto kwa kila mmoja wetu ni: Tuko tayari kuziasa nafsi zetu ili zitambue athari za ubinafsi na hivyo kuzikabili vilivyo? Tutakapotambua kuwa waendelezaji wa ubinafsi ni mimi na wewe, hapo ndipo vita hivi vitakapoanza kufanikiwa.

Mzee Maganga alikuwa tajiri maarufu katika mtaa wa Shwari. Wakazi wengi walimstahi kutokana na idili na maarifa yake ya kuendesha biashara. Aidha mzee huyu asingejumuishwa katika orodha ya adinasi wenye mkono birika. Hakika mzee huyu alikuwa mkwasi wa mali na moyo kwani mbali na kuwakidhia wanawe mahitaji yao yote, aliwasabilia wanakijiji kwa mengi. Wapo waliopewa ruzuku za vyakula, karo za wanao ada ya matibabu na hata vibarua almradi waweze kuzikimu aila zao.

Maganga mwenyewe hakuzaliwa na asali mdomoni. Inasemekana baba yake alikuwa fukara fukefuke. Kwa bahati nzuri alipata msaada wa kanisa akawaelimisha maganga na nduguze hadi vyuo vikuu. Ndugu zake walipata kazi serikalini lakini Maganga ambaye alisomea elimu biashara aliamua kuanzisha kazi yake binafsi. Alikuwa na maduka kadhaa kuanzia yale ya vipuri, ya nafaka, ya vitabu na hata kiwanda cha kukobolea mpunga.

Makali ya umri sasa yalianza kumlemea Maganga. Alikuwa si yule Maganga aliyerauka mapema kuenda kukagua shughuli katika biashara zake. Kila mara alijihisi mnyonge huku mwili wake ukilemewa na maumivu ya viungo. Maganga alijawa na hofu sio kwa sababu ya hali hii mpya kwani alielewa kuwa hii ni ada ya kila mja. Moyo ulimwuma kutokana na hali ya mwanawe wa pekee kuandama anasa kila uchao. Majanga alihofia kuwa angeenda kaburini na biashara zake.

Siku moja, Maganga alimwita mwanawe akamshtakia hali. Alimweleza kinagaubaga kuwa utendakazi wake ulikuwa ukikaribia ukingoni. Kijana alionyesha huruma machoni lakini moyo ulimdunda kwa raha ya kurithi milki ya baba yake. Mzee mwenyewe aliliona hili waziwazi. Hata hivyo alijitia hamnazo. Alimwagiza mwanawe ampelekee shilingi laki moja, pesa taslimu alizozifanyia kazi yeye mwenyewe. Kijana alimweleza mamaye, naye akaahidi kumpa fulusi zile baada ya juma moja.

Baada ya kupokea kitita kile kutoka kwa mama yake, kijana alimwendea mzee Maganga chumbani alimokuwa akiota moto. Bila kuzihesabu pesa zile, mzee alizitupa motoni zikateketea huku kijana amejitazamia tu, akingoja mzee atimize ahadi kwani ahadi ni deni. Hapo mzee alimtazama kijana akasema, "Nenda uniletee shilingi laki moja; jasho lako hasa!”

Kijana alikereka moyoni, akatuhumu kuwa mama alikuwa amemsaliti. Aliwaendea marafiki zake waliozoea kustarahe pamoja. Vijana wale walichanga bia, wakampa kiasi kile akaondoka kwa furaha. "Sasa baba atatambua kuwa mimi pia nina uwezo wa kuchuma”, akajiambia huku akielekea kwa baba yake. Hata hivyo hali ilikuwa kama ile ile ya kwanza. Moyo ulimwuma kijana kwa ujeuri wa babaye akaondoka huku akilaani.

Hamu ya kupata urithi ilimtia kijana ari ya kutimiza matakwa ya baba yake. Alibeba nguo chache akafunga safari kuenda katika mji wa mbali. Alipata kazi ya utwana akaifanya kwa hamu huku akitunduiza kidogo alicholipwa kila mwezi. Kwa miaka miwili, hakuthubutu kununua mavazi mazuri wala kushiriki anasa. Pesa zilipotosha, aliwaaga waajiri kwa heshima akafunga safari ya kurudi nyumbani. Wakati huu, alikuwa na hakika kwamba mambo yake yangetengenea.

Kijana alipofika nyumbani, hali yake ilikuwa ya kuhuzunisha. Alimwendea baba yake akampa pesa kama awali. Baba naye alikirudia kitendo kilekile. Kwa hamaki kuu, kijana aliutia mkono motoni bila kujali majeraha aliyopata akazitoa pesa zile kabla hazijateketea. Alimweleza babaye kimasomaso kwamba hakujali kukosa urithi lakini asingekubali jasho lake litiwe motoni. Aliondoka akajifungia chumbani mwake.

Siku iliyofuata, Maganga aliwaita wasimamizi wa biashara zake. "Sasa naona mwanangu ametambua kuwa uchungu wa mwana aujuaye ni mzazi. Ninampa usukani wa biashara zangu zote." Hapo ndipo kijana alipolifumbua fumbo la baba yake. Alimwangukia miguuni akamwomba radhi na kumshukuru kwa kumpa elimu isiyopatikana katika chuo chochote. Kijana aliendeleza biashara vizuri huku akijitenga na marafiki waliomshawishi kushiriki anasa. Hakika alifanikiwa hata kuliko baba yake. Akaiyeyusha hofu ya mzee Maganga

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

The weekend had been extremely busy for me. It was not surprising, therefore, that I overslept on Monday morning. Mum's numerous attempts to wake me up on time did not work. But I really had no regrets. My best friends had visited me on Saturday and they had agreed to prolong their stay until Sunday evening after a little persuasion. You can imagine how weary I became, trying my best to entertain six teenagers with keen appetites. On the whole, it was great fun. My parents left us alone, though they occassionally enquired if everyting was alright. We chatted away for hours told stories, cracked jokes, played and shared experiences.

Monday morning! When it dawned on me that I had to go to school, I struggled out of bed, dressed up hastily threw a few books into my school bag and I was halfway to school before I realised I had not even washed my face. My hair was a mess. I dreaded facing my classmates and my teachers in that state, but I convinced myself that there were usually many other pupils who looked worse.

I arrived late. The teacher on duty was the unforgiving type. She didn't ask for any explanation. Instead, she ordered me to sweep the workshop during lunch break. I was lucky I had eaten plenty of food over the weekend.

In the classroom, the history teacher was full of mockery. "Look at her, walking like a queen but looking like a scarecrow!" The girls giggled, casting curious glances at me.

It did not last long however. I glared at them and I must have looked dangerous. Perhaps they remembered my grandmother who had once terrorised everyone in the local market when another woman insulted her. People still tell different versions of the story but they all agree that the woman groaned in bed for a week and never again insulted another person. They say I resemble my grandmother in more ways than one.

That was the way my day begun and you are right if you think I did not concentrate in my lessons. More than once the teacher had shouted at me, "Jane, pay attention!" I longed for the end of the day and I hoped that Tuesday would be more fulfilling. However, on the way home, I witnessed something that aroused my curiosity.

From a distance, I could see a huge crowd watching something. Vehicles were parked on either side of the road. I ran to the scene and found my way to the front. What I saw shocked me. A man of about fifty was trapped inside a wreck of a car, bleeding. Each time he tried to speak, his face twisted in pain. I heard that the driver lost control of the car after the brakes had failed and it had rolled several times before crashing into a tree.

The crowd just stared. They stood there shrugging their shoulders and mumbling meaningless things. Nobody tried to save his life. Nobody except one lady, a nurse I think, who behaved as if the crowd did not exist. She had put her bag down, taken off her expensive-looking cardigan and was tearing it to pieces and tying the man's wounds to stop the bleeding.

Satisfied that the bleeding was checked, she started dragging him out of the mangled car but he was too heavy for her. She looked at the crowd but nobody moved forward to help. Then her pleading eyes caught mine. I stepped forward and together with that great woman, we got him out of the car and carried him, with great difficulty, to a police car that had just come. My disappointment vanished. I felt happy that I had been of assistance to a needy person. The 'nurse' and I bid each other farewell. As she walked away in the opposite direction, I knew I had had an encounter with a truly wonderful person. My day had not been wasted after all.

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

There are obvious differences between the rural and urban life. Such differences are evident in the availability of certain facilities, people's activities, the kind of neighbours they have and even the pace at which they do things. Although it is difficult to do everything uniform, some of the differences can be minimised. Infact some of the facilities are only readily available in towns for example, butare essential to all people wherever they live.

A great deal has been done in providing modern facilities such as electricity, telephone services and tap water in rural areas. As a result, some rural homes are now similar to those in urban centres. In addition, a number of rural shopping centres have now been blessed with shops, richly stocked with a wide variety of commodities which were previously only available to urban folk.

Many people in urban centres work in factories, offices and shops. The nature of their work influences their lifestyle. Since work, for instance, has to begin at a certain time, people usually have to wake up early, catch a bus or a matatu or even walk and make sure that they arrive on time. That is why they seem more strict with time. In fact, a person visiting a city like Nairobi from the rural areas is amazed at how busy urban people look. Everybody seems to rush all the time. They do not even have the time to shake hands or to have a friendly chat. In banks, restaurants and shops, they seem to have little patience. They are always rushing, pushing and scrambling....

People from the rural areas are likely to find towns strange and unfriendly. It is easy to notice them because sometimes they dress differently, are hesitant and may spend hours gazing at the skycrappers or admiring the many wonders of urban life. Things happen so quickly that one may feel dizzy. Inspite of the many excitements and comforts of urban life, most rural folks prefer the relaxed atmosphere of rural life where people are not only friendly but also have time for each other.

In rural areas, most people are either farmers, herdsmen or fishermen. Although time is an important factor, it does not enslave the people. In other words, there is not as much hurry. People organise their work patterns according to the seasons. Of course, there are times of hard work especially during planting and harvesting but there is also time to rest and have fun.

What makes it so difficult for a rural person to settle in the town is the fact that one may have neighbours who seem not to care about or to notice any other person. In some cases, neighbours do not even know each other's names. However, in the rural areas, people live close to members of their families or relatives. If one has a problem, others help willingly, without having to be requested.

Perhaps, as the years go by, many of the differences that still exist between urban and rural areas will be removed. But we hope that the good values will remain

39. What does the writer say about the differences between the urban and rural life?
    1. It is not necessary to remove the differences.
    2. The differences should not be made fewer.
    3. It is not easy to remove the differences.
    4. The differences are impossible to remove.
40. The phrase "....only readily available in towns.." means that the facilities are
    1. usually available in towns
    2. not available elsewhere
    3. are meant only for use in towns 
    4. are really unsuitable for rural areas.
41. According to the passage, electricity, telephone services and tap water are examples of
    1. facilities that rural people would like to have
    2. facilities essential for all people
    3. facilities that have been provided in all rural areas

Read the following story and answer the questions that follow.

There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!" The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces. "Don't cry 'wolf, shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.

Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the wolf away. When the villagers saw no wolf, they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf' when there is no wolf!" But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.

Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!" But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come. At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping.

"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, "Wolf!" Why didn't you come?" An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village. "We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth".

Read the passage below and answer the following questions.   

The Importance of Sport for the children's health is that sport helps children to develop both physically and mentally. Physical activity should be part of our daily life. Practicing any kind of sport from an early age helps children in many ways, for example, group activities improve interaction and social integration. It also improves the mental level and promotes a healthy lifestyle in adulthood, as the habits we acquire as children are often to stay. Sports have multiple healthy benefits. If we talk on a psychological or personality level, sports activities (especially those done in groups) help children to strengthen their social self-esteem, and allow them to understand the importance of having and respecting the rules.

Another aspect to consider is what type of sport or activity will suit best the child considering his/her conditions and abilities. A more timid and shy child is likely to get better at a sport where she/he has to relate to peers. To a more active one, an individual sport such as tennis can help better develop her/his ability to concentrate.

One of the perhaps most relevant issues is the importance of physical exercise, not only in children but also in young and old people, because moderate daily physical exercise helps prevent overweight and obesity.

Taking into account the growth of the percentage of children and young people with obesity and overweight in the current world, the inclusion of sport in the family routine becomes almost mandatory.

Sport can also have the power to help us rest. For all those fathers and mothers of active children, try to get them to run every day playing soccer, or swimming or any other activity that keeps them physically active. They will fall asleep in bed in a matter of seconds and you, dads and moms, too.

Questions.

11. According to the passage, what is the importance of sports to children?
    
    1. It keeps them busy.
    2. It makes them tired.
    3. It helps them develop both physically and mentally.
    4. It helps them become famous..
12. Why is it mandatory to include sports in the family routine?
    
    1. Because of the increase in number of young people with obesity.
    2. Because it helps family's bond.
    3. Because it helps children fall asleep fast.
    4. Because there are few people who do sports.
13. In which kind of sport is a shy child likely to get better?
    1. One which requires silence.
    2. One which requires he/she to relate to peers.
    3. One which requires a lot of concentration.
    4. One which requires only two players. 
14. Which health benefits of sports are mentioned in the passage?
