Hapo zamani za kale, paliishi mzee mmoja aliyeitwa Maarifa. Maarifa alimwoa mke mmoja na kuweza kufanikiwa kupata mwana aliyeitwa pendo. Pendo alikuwa mtoto wa pekee katika aila hiyo. Mabonge ya nasaha aliyopewa na baba yake yaliangukia masikio yaliyotiwa nta.
Maarifa, mke wake na mtoto wao Pendo waliishi katika jamii iliyokuwa na ushirikiano kwa wema na mabaya. Jamii hii ilishi kwa kutegemea mifugo na kulima mashamba madogo madogo. Pendo alipoendelea kukua alijihisi ameerevuka kiasi cha kuwajaribu wakuu wake akili. Kweli aliyesema akili nyingi huondoa maarifa hakukosea.
Baadhi ya mafunzo aliyopewa na baba yake ni kuwa akienda kulisha kondoo apige ukemi pindi mbwa mwitu watokeapo na atapata usaidizi haraka sana. Siku moja Pendo alienda kulisha mifugo mbali kidogo na nyumbani. Alifikiri na akaona ni bora apige ukemi aone kutatokea nini.
"Uuuwi! Uuuwi! Uuuwi! Njooni haraka, mbwa mwitu wamevamia kondoo." Punde si punde wanaume wa miraba minne, mashunjaa wa kijiji walifika huku wamejihami kwa nyuta na mishale. Waliduwaa kuona Pendo akicheka huku akiwa na raha. Ni ibra iliyoje?
Wanaume walirejea nyumbani na kumweleza Maarifa kisa chote. Pendo alipowasili alioswa na kukemewa na wazazi wake. Mwana muwi haongeleki mara moja. Pendo alirudia tendo lake mara ya pili. Nao wanaume wakaja kama safari ya kwanza. Tukio hilo lilikuwa mchezo mbaya wa kuchezea watu wazima.
Siku ya tatu, Pendo alipokuwa akilisha mifugo, mbwa mwitu walitokeza ghafla. Alipiga mayowe lakini hakuona hata mtu mmoja aliyekuja kumsaidia. Watu walidhani ni mzaha ule wake wa kawaida. Maskini Pendo, mbwa mwitu waliwala kondoo wote na hatimaye kumjeruhi vibaya. Pendo alijuta kwa kutofuata mawaidha aliyopewa na wakuu wake.
- Ni nini maana ya maneno Pendo alikuwa mtoto wa pekee kulingana na habari?
- Pendo alikuwa na tabia tofauti na wenzake
- Pendo alizaliwa wa kwanza katika jamaa yake
- Pendo hakuwa na dada wala kaka
- Pendo alikuwa wa mwisho kuzaliwa kwao
- Mawaidha ambayo pendo alipewa na baba yake
A hakuyasikiliza wala hakuyafuata

Kilimo ndicho uti wa mgongo nchini Kenya. Ukulima huchangia pakubwa katika jumla ya pato la taifa. Asilimia sabini na tano ya Wakenya walio katika umri wa kufanya kazi ni wakulima ingawa nusu ya mzao haya hutumika kwa kukidhi mahitaji ya kimsingi.
Nchi ya Kenya ikiwa na chini ya asilimia ishirini ya ardhi inayofaa kwa ukulima ndiyo inayoongoza katika ukuzaji wa kitunguu na maembe kwa mataifa ya nje. Kwa ujumla, sekta ya kilimo inachangia takriban asilimia sitini na tano ya bidhaa za nchi zinazouzwa katika mataifa ya nje.
Hata hivyo ukulima wa nchi ya Kenya umekabiliwa na changamoto ainati. Ukosefu wa mvua hutatiza wakulima nchini. Hii ni kwa sababu kilimo nchini hutegemea mvua. Majira ya mvua yanaendelea kubadilika kwa kiasi cha kuyafanya yasitegemewe. Mvua inayonyesha haitoshi na mimea hukauka kabla ya kukomaa na kupata mazao. Iwapo wakulima wametayarisha mashamba na kupanda mbugu, huweza kupata hasara kubwa.
Wakulima wengi nchini hawatumii teknolojia ya kisasa ili kuboresha mapato yao. Hii ni kwa sababu utafiti hauhusishi wakulima ili kuboresha mapato yao. Wakulima wengi hivyo basi huendelea kutumia njia zilizopitwa na wakati katika uzalishaji wa mazao na hivyo kupata mapato yasiyoweza kukidhi haja ya mkulima na nchi kwa jumla.
Wadudu na magonjwa yanayoathiri mimea ni changamoto nyingine inyokabili wakulima. Wengi wao wamekosa elimu kuhusu jinsi ya kuzuia magonjwa na wadudu wanaoharibu mimea na mazao au mavuno yao. Wengi hawajui jinsi ya kuzuia wadudu wanaoyaharibu. Mahali wanamoweka mazao au mavuno yao hamfai na husababisha uharibifu unaoleta hasara kuu. Wataalamu wanaowatembelea wakulima ni wachache sana na hawafikii wakulima wengi. Jambo hili husababisha ukosefu wa ujuzi wa kutosha wa kuendeleza kilimo kwa njia za kisasa.
Wakulima wanaweza kuwa na ujuzi wa kuzuia magonjwa na wadudu wanaoharibu mimea na mazao au hata matumizi ya teknolojia ya kisasa lakini wakose fedha za kutekeleza mambo haya. Gharama ya mbegu, viuadudu na mbolea yaweza kuwa juu kwa mkulima wa kawaida.
Ukosefu wa miundomsingi mathalani barabara umesababisha usafirishaji wa mazao ya mkulima kuwa ghali. Hili hufanya mazao kuharibika mashambani na yakifika sokoni yanauzwa kwa bei duni kwa kuwa hali yake si nzuri. Hivyo basi wakulima wanaendelea kupata hasara zaidi. Serikali inafaa isaidie sekta ya kilimo kwa kuongeza wataalamu zaidi wanaotembea mashambani kuwaelekeza wakulima. Wakulima wapewe mikopo ya kukidhi mahitaji ya zaraa. Miundomsingi pia iboreshwe.
