SEHEMU YA B. UFUPISHO (alama 15)

Soma kifungu kisha ujibu maswali

Ripoti za kila mara kuhusu uharibifu wa pesa za umma katika serikali za kaunti ni za kusikitisha .Kuna mabilioni ya pesa za mlipa ushuru ambazo hufujwa katika serikali kuu na hivyo basi  wananchi wanakosewa sana wanapoona mtindo huu ukiendelea pia katika serikali za kaunti. Wakati katiba ilipitishwa mwaka wa 2010, Wakenya wengi walikuwa na matumaini  mno kwamba ugatuzi ungewatatulia matatizo ambayo walikuwa wakiyapitia katika tawala zilizotangulia hasa katika maeneo yaliotengwa kimaendeleo.

Miaka Ishirini na mbili baadaye, kuna mafanikio yamepatikana ila hatua kubwa Zaidi inaweza kupigwa katika kuboresha Maisha ya raia kama mianya ianyotumiwa kufuja pesa za raia itazibwa. Wizi huu unajumuisha pia jinsi magavana  wanavyobuni nafasi za kazi zisizo na maana ambazo wakati mwingine hutoewa kwa jamaa na marafiki wao , ni sharti ukomeshwe mara moja.

Kuna wananchi  wengi ambao tayari wameanza kufa moyo kuhusu umuhimu wa ugatuzi ilhali ukwel ni kwamba hatungependa kurejelea utawala ulio chini ya serikali kuu pekee.Changamoto za ugatuzi zinazosababishwa na ulafi wa viongozi wachache zinatoa nafasi kwa wakosoaji wa mfumo wa uongozi kushawishi wananchi n ahata wahisani wasishughulike kuchangia katika maendeleo ya kaunti zao.

Juhudi zozote zile za maendeleo haziwezi kufanikishwa bila ushirikiano kutoka kwa wananchi na wahisani na hivyo basi ni jukumu la viongozi kuonyesha nia ya kutumia mamlaka walizopewa kwa manufaa ya raia. Tume ya maaddili ya kupambana na ufisadi (EACC) kufikia sasa imeonekana kufanya kazi nzuri kwa kuwasaka na kuwashtaki magavana walio mamlakani na wengine walioondoka kwa kushukiwa kufuja mali za umma.Tungependa asasi zote zinazohusika na msuala ya kupambana na uhalifu , Pamoja na wadu wengine katika jamii wenye nia njema kwa wananchi wasitambue mambo maovu yanayotendeka katika kaunti zao.

Nchi hii  inatawala kwa misingi ya kisheria na hivyo basi hakuna sababu kumhurumia kiongozi yeyote anayekiuka sheria anapokuwa mamlakani kwa msingi wa mamlaka anayoyashikilia .Ni kupitia adhabu kali za kisheria pekee ambapo tutafanikiwa kukomesha uongozi mbaya kwani  kama wananchi watakuwa wakisubiri kuwaadhibu wahusika kwa kuwaondoa mamlakani pekee watakuwa wametoa nafasi ya ufujaji kwa viongozi wapya kila miaka mitano.

THE DEATH OF MY FATHER BY Henry Indangasi

His sunken cheeks, his inward-looking eyes,

The sarcastic, scornful smile on his lips,

The unkempt, matted, grey hair,

The hard, coarse sand-paper hands,

Spoke eloquently of the life he had lived.

But I did not mourn for him.

The hammer, the saw and the plane,

These were his tools and his damnation,

His sweat was his ointment and his perfume,

He fashioned dining tables, chairs, wardrobes,

And all the wooden loves of colonial life.

No, I did not mourn for him.

He built mansions,

Huge, unwieldy, arrogant constructions;

But he squatted in a sickly mad-house,

With his children huddled stuntedly

Under the bed-bug bed he shared with mother.

I could not mourn for him.

I had already inherited

His premature old-age look,

I had imbibed his frustration;

But his dreams of freedom and happiness

Had become my song, my love.

So, I could not mourn for him.

No, I did not shed any tears;

My father’s dead life still lives in me,

He lives in my son,

I am my father and my son,

I will awaken his sleepy hopes and yearnings,

But I will not mourn for him,

I will not mourn for me.

COMPREHENSION

Read the passage below and then answer the questions which follow.      (20 Marks)

The country’s health system could grind to a halt in the not-too – distant future due to the excessive consumption of sugar in the country. Addressing the African Food Manufacturing and Safety Summit in Nairobi last month, Mr. Bimal Shah, the director of Broadways Bakery Ltd, said the looming crisis in the healthcare system is attributable to poor food choices. “More than five per cent of 25-year-old Kenyans are developing diabetes, a life long condition that causes kidney failure, loss of limbs, comas and a range of debilitating and life-threatening complications triggered profoundly by excessive sugar consumption,” he said, quoting a World Health Organisation report on diabetes in Kenya.

According to WHO, Kenyans consume twice as much sugar as Tanzanians, and more than all other Africans, with the exception of South Africans and Swazis. Kenyans consume 60gms of sugar per day, compared to Tanzanians’ typical 23gm, 5gms for Indians, and an average of just over 15gms a day for the Chinese. “The consequences of this are feeding straight to surging diabetes and other lifestyle diseases amongst Kenyans,” Mr. Shah said.

The wrong choice of breakfast foods has resulted in the consumption of foods high in sugar and health problems, including type 2 diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure.

The country’s mounting diabetes crisis is placing acute pressure on hospital services and in particular, facilities such as kidney dialysis, Mr. Shah says.

By 2025, 22 million Kenyans will be between the ages of 10 and 40 years, and around 1 million of them will have diabetes, Mr. Shah said, adding that the Ministry of Health alone will not be able to cope with the onslaught of lifestyle diseases.

He noted that Kenyans consume 49.5gm of sugar at breakfast alone, compared with the WHO’s recommended 50gm per day.

Poor eating habits and availability of substandard processed foods are among the major causes of lifestyle diseases in Africa, and Kenya, in particular. Despite growing public pronouncements and awareness that the intake of too much sugar in the country is on the rise, Mr. Shah said.

“As diets shift towards manufactured and processed foods, we have a responsibility as an industry, to start addressing the excessive sugar content in some of our foods and beverages,” he said while launching the “be sugar smart” campaign, which is aimed at raising awareness on sugar consumption across Kenya.

Kenya’s processed foods manufacturing recorded a six percent growth in 2015. This is predicted to rise to 6.6 per cent in 2016, and to 7 percent in 2017, according to the Kenya Economic Update 2015.

 As a result, sugar consumption in the country will continue to increase in demand and the growth of industrial and food service sectors in Kenya. “Therefore, manufacturers of processed foods should be urged to become more health conscious, and work towards producing healthier foods with low sugar, fat and cholesterol content,” said Mr. Shah. “Bad foods are bringing on a health disaster in our nation. It is an issue that food producers need to act on. Consumers need to wake up too, parents need to understand, and we all need to play a part in preventing their consumption,” he added “Sugar is not bad if it is consumed in moderation. However, when Kenyans shift to excessively high-sugar diets, the price is paid by many in hospitalization and long-term health issues. The key is to be vigilant and check labels where applicable, as well as enquire from manufacturers if there is uncertainty,” Mr. Devan Shah, the Business Development Executive at Broadway Bakery Ltd, said.
