THE COCK AND THE KITE

(The setting of the story is in Kibiro , Uganda in the Western Rift Valley near Lake Albert )

A long time ago , there lived cock and his family as well as kite and his family .The former was
hard working while the latter was lazy .It happened that the place was hit by a famine .People
from far used to travel a long way to go to Kibiro to barter food for salt .It also happened that
both families ran out of salt . Cock’s wife informed her husband that they had ran out of salt
and asked him to take some finger millet to Kibiro .He agreed , went to Kibiro , obtained salt
and set upon the return journey .

The other family got wind of this .Mrs.Kite also asked her husband her husband to go to Kibiro
and try to get salt since the lazy family did not have anything to take to Kibiro .On the way , he
met the cock resting on his way home with the salt behind him .He was standing on one leg
having hidden one of his leg in his wing , as cocks do many times when resting .Kite asked cock
how he managed to get the salt , where upon cock told kite that the salt miners ad cut off one of
his legs in exchange for the salt .Kite accepted the lie and proceeded towards Kibiro ready to do
the same .Cock continued on his journey and got home safely .

On arrival at Kibiro, Kite offered his leg for a bundle of salt which the miners readily accepted
.His leg was consequently amputated , rendering him immobile , even unable to carry home salt
poor kite flew back home, where he was received by his family in much grief , especially when
he narrated to them the ordeal he went through . Later , kite’s family was to receive the
traumatizing news that cock had actually ill-advanced Kite , leading to loss of his leg .

Hence forward , great enmity ensued between the two families with Kite’s family swearing to
retaliate by hunting Cock’s family down and eat them. This goes -+on to date.

ENGLISH PAPER 2

1. Read the passage below and then answer the questions that follow.
THE DETOX DEBATE
Detox kits and supplements are recent health fads. But can they really help you lose weight fast?
Online weight loss coach Andrew Cate investigates.
We’veheard a lot about the need to detox lately. It is the term used to describe a strict program
of elimination and supplementation that is meant to rid your body of impurities, cleaning your
liver and kidneys, and flushing your bowel. It is suggested that toxins build up from consuming too
much fat, sugar, alcohol, caffeine, preservatives and pollution.

There’s no shortage of detox books, kit and programs claiming to help you shed weight, improve
your well-being, cause your skin to radiate and make you feel younger. The kits usually contains a
dietary program which is supplemented with a variety of vitamins, minerals, tonics, digestive aids
and laxatives. They are particularly popular in January as people feel the urge to begin the New
Year afresh after overindulging during the festive season.

People will make drastic changes when they go on a detox diet and often feel better for starting a
structured regime. However, detox kits made up of herbal laxatives and diuretics are unnecessary
and have generally no proven benefit. Detox regimes do not improve kidneys and liver function.
These organs are designed to filter your blood fats, alcohol and other nasties- all without the help
of a fancy box from your local pharmacy. There is no scientific evidence to support specific detox
diets. Programs or supplement kits. However, there’s no debate about the fact that eating less
junk food, cutting out cigarettes and your alcohol intake etc will benefit your health. For example
drinking more water and cutting out caffeine will improve your bowel function. These changes will
enhance your well-being but there’s nothing magical about the detox diet itself. Rather it’s the
associated lifestyle changes that benefit your health.

Detox kits that contains laxatives and diuretics to encourage you to fast could, potentially, do
more harm than good. Laxatives speed up your bowel motions, but also prevent absorption of
nutrients, while diuretics can result to partial dehydration.

The fasting component of a detox should only be minimal, and not extend beyond a day or two.
By eating next to nothing, you are not getting enough nutrients for the essential functions of your

Page 100 of 218

body. Supplements are no substitute for real food, and relying solely on them can result in vitamin
deficiencies. Fasting is also known to slow down your metabolic rate, which encourages your body
to store fat, making it harder to lose body fat in the future.

If you’ve spent weeks, months or years overindulging, drinking and smoking you can’t hope to fix
yourself in a few days. Detox diets aren’t an instant cure to health and wellness. Short-term
changes to your diet and lifestyle only result in short-term changes to your health and wellness. If
you can’t stick to the lifestyle changes you make over the long term, there’s no point starting them

2. Read the following excerpt and answer the questions that follow.
Her dream was rudely and violently interrupted by a thunderous bang and a loud roar of
laughter. She woke up with a start, jumped up to her feet and stared at the door with wide
panic-stricken eyes. For a moment she could not figure out her surroundings and called out the
name of her sister Taiyo. She was terrified. The door flung open and Olarinkoi staggered in. He
was stone drunk. Resian stared at him unblinkingly as he walked towards her and she backed
off terrified, squeezing herself flatly against the wall. He followed her there and got hold of her
shoulders and shook her violently glaring at her with his glittering eyes.
“You silly thing,” he thundered angrily. “I tell you to prepare food and you refuse to do so, eh?
Today you will know who is the owner of this home. If you are still in doubt, let me tell you
frankly that from today on you are my wife, hear that, eh? You are my wife. For a long time you
have been sneering at me, showing how highly educated you are. Today we shall see how
educated your body is! Yes, we shall see!’’
He got hold of her hand and began dragging her into the other room. At first she did not
understand his intention until he began unfastening her buttons with his rough trembling
hands. Then the truth came, and with it, terror and panic. She tried to get away from him, but
he held her effortlessly as he brutally continued fumbling with her dress, trying to loosen it. She
screamed as loudly as she could while she pushed him away and thrashed frantically about. But
that did not deter him and he totally ignored her screams holding her more firmly with his
strong arms. Against her loud protest, he tore her garments and began to push her towards the
bed.
Then desperately she took the last chance of self-defense and self-preservation. Mustering all
her strength, she thrust his thumb into her mouth; sunk her teeth into the flesh like a ferocious
animal and tenaciously held onto it, tugging at it fiercely like a lioness. She could feel the flesh
tearing and she tasted the salt of his blood as it filled her mouth but she clung unto the thumb
as Olarinkoihowled with pain.

Listen
My husband
In the wisdom of Lang’o
Time is not stupidity split up
Into seconds and minutes.

It does not follow

Like beer in a pot
That is sucked
Until it is finished.

It does not resemble

A loaf of millet bread
Surrounded by hungry youths
From a hunt
It does not get finished
Like vegetable in the dish.

A lazy youth is rebuked

A lazy girl is slapped
A lazy wife beaten
A lazy man laughed at
Not because they waste time
But because they only destroy
And do not produce

And women take their baskets

And what can you say?

1. UFAHAMU (ALAMA 15)

Soma taarifa ifuatayo kisha ujibu maswali yanayofuata.
Kwa kipindi cha miezi kadha iliyopita tumeshuhudia vyombo vya dola vikitia makali
yake kwenye upekuzi na hata kupiga doria usiku na mchana katika jitihada za kulinda nchi.
Mpango huu ni kweli umeonekana kufanya kazi hivi kwamba hata magaidi wenyewe
wameshindwa kupenya katika miji na sasa kuhiari kijinga kushambulia magari ya abiria,
kitendo ambacho ni cha kuonyesha uwoga. Kwa hatua hiyo, navipa vyombo vya dola kongole.
Jambo ambalo lafaa kujulikana ni kwamba mikakati ya kulinda nchi haifai kuwa ni ya wakati
mmoja tu, mbali inafaa kuwa ni zoezi la kila siku.
Magaidi nao huwa macho huku yakijua bayana kwamba wakati wa kulala kwa walinzi
unapokuwepo, basi wanapata nafasi ya kututupia ‘viazi’ ukipenda grunedi.
Kama ilivyo kawaida katika mataifa mengi barani Afrika, ni bayana kwamba bado
kungali na mianya mingi ambayo magaidi wa kimataifa huendelea kutumia. Dosari bado zipo.
Kwa mfano, mipaka mingi ya nchi hizi huwa kama lango kuu la ugaidi wa kimataifa, kwani
kuenea kwa saratani ya ufisadi halimo tu maofisini mbali pia kwenye mipaka yetu.

Kama kupata kitambulisho, pasipoti na stakabadhi zingine za kusafiri nchini Kenya
ashakum si matusi ziligeuzwa ‘maandazi’ ya Kariakoo basi niambie ni nani hawezi kuingia
na kutoka nchini bila usumbufu wowote ule bora tu anayehitaji ana hela mkononi? Kwa
kuikubali hongo kuwa ufunguo wa kila kitu, Wakenya wenzangu hapo naona ni kama
tumejiweka kwenye kikaango kilicho juu ya moto mkali. Hapa hakuna aliye na bahati, tajiri
kwa masikini wamo kwenye mtego huu hatari.
Kwa mtindo ambao tunafuata wa kutoa ajira katika idara mbalimbali za ulinzi, inabidi
serikali iwe na uangalifu sana hasa kwenye suala nzima la kuhakikisha stakabadhi
wanazohitaji si ghushi.
Pasina kufanya hivyo hapo tena tunaweza kuwapata maadui wanaopenya na kujifanya
walinzi wetu kumbe ni majasusi wa magaidi. Kila Mkenya anafaa kujihisi kulindwa. Miji,
vijiji na hata vitongoji vinafaa kuwa na usalama wa kutosha, kwani kila Mkenya ni mlipa
ushuru na hatufai kuona labda tabaka la juu likipendelewa huku mitaa ya mabanda ikiachiwa
mbwa koko kama walinzi wao.
Suala lingine muhimu ni kuangaziwa upya usalama kwenye magari ya usafiri.
Juzi tulishuhudia mabasi mawili yakilipuliwa kwenye barabara ya Thika huku tukijua fika
kwamba, mpango wa walinda nchi ungalipo.
La kusikitisha ni kuona kwamba, madereva na utingo wao walikamatwa na kufunguliwa
mashtaka kwa kutozuia shambulizo hilo. Je, hii ni sheria gani? Dereva ataendesha gari au
atachukua jukumu la walinda usalama?
Waswahili walinena kwamba ukubwa ni jaa na kwa hivyo Rais wa taifa ndiye anayefaa
kubeba mzigo mzima wa usalama wetu bila kubananga wasaa. Wengine ambao wanafaa
kuwajibika ni wakuu wote wa idara mbalimbali za usalama.
Usalama wako na wangu ni muhimu, elewa bayana kwamba bila usalama watalii
hawawezi kuja kututembelea. Bila ya usalama maendeleo ya taifa kamwe hayawezi
kupatikana, ndiposa kila jitihada sharti zifanywe ili wote waweze kuendelea kuyafurahia
matunda ya uhuru wetu.
Ada ya mja kunena muungwana ni vitendo, hatufai tu kuimba wimbo wa ‘linda nchi’
ilhali mabasi barabarani hayana usalama. Hebu na tuuone ulinzi endelevu na hapo
tutawakomoa magaidi kwa yakini.

2. UFUPISHO (ALAMA 15)
Soma taarifa ifuatayo kisha ujibu maswali.
Ponografia ni tendo, maandishi, picha au mchoro unaoonyesha au kueleza uchi wa mtu au
vitendo vya ngono kwa ajili ya kuchochea ashiki ya kuifanya. Mambo haya machafu
huwasilishwa ana kwa ana kupitia sinema, video, magazeti, vitabu, muziki, televisheni. DVD,
n.k.

Ponorafia imekuwepo tangu jadi, hasa katika nchi za magharibi. Lakini sasa limekuwa tatizo
sugu. Hii ni kwa sababu imeenea ulimwenguni kote mithili ya moto katika mbuga wakati wa
kiangazi. Uenezi umechangiwa na mambo kadha wa kadha. Mchango mkubwa zaidi
umetokana na kuimarika kwa vyombo vya teknolojia ya habari na mawasiliano. Matumizi ya
tarakilishi, mdahilishi na viungambali vya picha yamesambaza ponografia ilivyoanza. Hata
hivyo, hubuniwa au kutengenezwa na makundi mbali mbali ya watu. Miongoni mwa hawa ni
watu wasiojali maadili. Pili, kuna wale wenye matatizo ya kisaikolojia na kijamii. Wao
hutengeneza na kueneza uchafu huu kwa lengo la ama kuvuruga maadili katika jamii au
kuchukiza wanajamii waadilifu. Kundi lingine ni lile la wanaoichukulia ponografia kama
nyenzo ya kutosheleza ashiki zao. Hivi sasa, kundi kubwa ni lile la wanotumia matusi haya
kama njia ya kuchuma. Kwa mfano, wanamziki ambao hutumia ponografia kuvutia wateja na
hivyo kuzidisha mauzo yao.

Kushamiri kwa wimbi na uonyeshaji ponografia kuna athari kubwa kwa jamii na hasa watoto.
Ingawa watu wengine hudai picha hizi haziwaathiri, upo ushahidi kuonyesha kuwa
wanaotazama picha za ngono hupata matatizo. Lazima ieleweke kuwa kinachoonekana na
jicho au kusikika kwa sikio huathiri fikira au hisia. Picha za matusi zinachangia kwa kiasi
kikubwa kuharibu akili. Badala ya kuzingatia mambo muhimu kama masomo watu huanza
kutafakari mambo machafu.

Vijana wengi ni kama bendera. Hivyo basi huanza kuiga wanayoyaona na kusikia. Hili ni
tatizo linalowafanya kuacha mkondo wa maadili. Kutokana na uchafu huu, watu wengi
hushawishiwa kuingilia shughuli za ngono mapema kabla hawajakomaa kimwili, kiakili na
kihisia. Matokeo yake ni mengi. Haya ni pamoja na ukahaba, utendaji mbaya shuleni,

Page 136 of 218

Prefer Calling Sir Obiero Amos @ 0706 851 439 for the Marking Schemes
mahudhurio mabaya darasani na mimba zisizotarajiwa. Vijana wengi huacha shule kabisa.
Wengine nao huambukizwa magonjwa ya zinaa ambayo huwaletea mauti.

Inasemekana kuwa akili za binadamu hunata zaidi mambo yanayowasilishwa kwa picha. Si
ajabu vijana huyadumisha matusi haya katika kumbukumbu zao na kuyasanya sehemu ya
maisha yao. Wengi huanza kuandama tabia mbovu kama ushoga, ubasha na usagaji. Kuna
wale ambao huanza kujichua. Kujichua ni hali ya mwanamke au mwanaume kumaliza haja za
kimaumbile bila kufanya mapenzi na mtu mwingine. Ponografia imechangia pakubwa kuenea
kwa haya.

Jambo hili limegeuza mielekeo ya vijana. Wanaiga mitindo mibaya ya mavazi yanayoanika
uchi wao. Hali kadhalika, huiga lugha, ishara na miondoko inayohusiana na ngono. Yote haya
yanapingana na desturi za Mwafrika. Si ajabu visa vya ubakaji vinaongezeka kila kukuchapo.

Utazamaji wa picha chafu aghalabu huandamana na maovu mengine kama unywaji pombe,
matumizi ya dawa za kulevya, uvutaji sigara na utumiaji wa dawa za kuchochea uchu wa
ngono. Mambo haya huwapa vijana kutazama tabia za unyama.

Jambo hatari ni kuwa kuendelea kutazama picha hizi huzifanya nishai na hisia za watu kuwa
butu, yaani huondoa makali. Hata katika utu uzima, mtu atapoteza mhemko wa kawaida na
kugeuzwa kuwa mtegemezi wa ponografia. Tatizo hili linaenea kwa vishindo mijini na vijijini.
Ipo haja ya dharura kuikinga jamii kutokana na maenezi haya yasio na kizuizi.

Jambo la kwanza ni kuongeza ufahamu wa umma wote kuhusu uovu wa picha hizi. Kwa
namna hii itawezekana kupunguza mahitaji na uuzaji wa ponografia. Tatizo hili linaenea kwa
vishindo mijini na vijijini. Ipo haja ya dharura kuikinga jamii kutokana na maenezi haya
yasiyo na kizuizi.
Tatizo la kuenea kwu ponografia limeendelea kuwepo kwa sababu ya udhaifu wa sheria.
Kilichoko basi ni kuweka sheria za kuzuia utengenezaji wa upujufu huu. Kuambatana na haya,
hatua kali zichukuliwe kwa wanaovunja sheria hizi. Hali kadhalika, ushirikiano wa karibu
baina ya wadau uimarishwe katika ulimwengu mzima. Serikali na wanaohusika wakabiliwe
ipasavyo. Jamii ingependa kuona michakato ya kuharamisha utengenezaji, usambazaji na
utangazaji wa ponografia ikiwekwa.

Wazazi nao wasijipweteke tu bali nao wasaidie. Ni muhimu washikilie kwa sharti juhudi zao
za kuwaelekeza na kuwashauri watoto kuzingatia uongofu na kukwepa picha hizi najisi.
Watoto lazima waeleweshwe kuwa haifai kutazama picha au michoro michafu. Itikadi na
imani za kidini na utamaduni wa Kiafrika unakataza vikali mtu kuona uchi wa mtu mwingine.
Matokeo ya kuasi makatazo haya yana madhara makubwa kwa watu na jamii.
