The Song of the Engine by Worsely Benison
With a snort and pant the engine dragged
Its heavy train uphill,
And puffed these words the while she puffed
And laboured with a will:

“I think-I can-I think-I can


I’ve- got- to reach- the top.
I’m sure- I can- I will- get there
I sim-ply must-not stop.”

At last, the top was reached and passed,


And then-how changed the song!
The wheels all joined in the engine’s joy,
As quickly she tore along.
“I knew I could do it; I knew I could win,
Oh, rickety, rackety, rack!
And now for a roaring rushing race
On my smooth and shining track!”

1. COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage then answer the questions thereafter.
It is a matter of time before more ex-convicts are offloaded back into communities as authorities try to
decongest prisons whose populations are above the recommended capacity.
Subject to the advice and recommendations of the power of Mercy advisory Committee (POMAC),
about 900 “reformed” hardcore convicts will be released.
This will be in addition to 3,908 petty offenders released since June 1, through a presidential pardon.
The release of the huge number of prisoners comes at a time when police officers are grappling with
insecurity challenges. When not on standby to deal with incidents of electoral violence, the cops
have to keep tabs on criminal’s gangs that have resurfaced ahead of the General election.
Already these vicious gangs have wreaked havoc in Onganta Rongai, Mombasa and Nakuru where cops
are struggling to tame them. The presence of ex-convicts among communities is, therefore, likely to
make a bad situation worse. From previous experience, some of pardoned prisoners find engaging
in violent robbery, burglary, motor vehicle or livestock theft irresistible.
Cops generally fear the next lot of ex-convicts coming out of prisons will relapse into crime, making
their work more difficult. “Our worry is that many of them will go back into crime, this is not
farfetched but a common trend based on past experiences. Once these guys are set free, the impact
will be instant with crimes shooting up” says a senior police officer, who spoke to the media,
representing the views of some of his colleagues.
But police spokesman Bruno Shiosso says there is no cause for alarm since officers are trained on how
to deal with lawbreakers, and that ex-convicts are no exception when it comes to enforcing law and
order. He said they are certain that prisons authorities will only let out those who proved beyond
doubt that they have reformed and become responsible citizens.
“But for those who think they will go baaack to crime, we shall deal with them within the realms of the
law, “noted Shioso.
The police fear is understandable since recently, a former convict bludgeoned his mother to death in
Riagicheru Village of Kirinyaga County. Barely days after being released from jail last month
Ephantus Kiura shocked locals when he allegedly killed Grace Muthoni Ndambiri on June 12 by
hitting the elderly woman with a blunt object.
Kiura had been imprisoned at the Gathigiriri Prison by a court in Mwea for torching his 76-year old
mother’s house. Upon earning freedom through a presidential pardon, the man brutally killed his
mother. He was among the 3,908 petty offenders released from prison in a decongestion programme.
Kiura was a beneficiary of the community service order. However, he never waited to serve the
noncustodial sentence and is now staring at life behind bars for the alleged murder. Petty offenders
put on this form of light punishment are required to perform a specified number of hours of unpaid
work in the community. This, however, does not apply to prisoners serving jail for capital offences.
Authorities admit that it is often difficult to ascertain the prisoners who correctly merit release. Some
of those who make it to the freedom list either fake having reformed or bribe prison officials-
ultimately leading to the wrong individuals being reintegrated back into communities. Though stake
holders have no right prescription for selecting the right convicts for pardon, the general feeling is

FOR MARKING SCHEMES CONTACT 0746-222-000 / 0742-999-000


that more general feeling is that more attention should be put on rehabilitation of inmates to achieve
the desired change.
“Prisons have turned into containment facilities as opposed to rehabilitation centres where inmates and
convicts are turned into responsible citizens” states Ambrose Ngare, a former prisons boss.
According to Ngare, now executive director of Africa Institute of Criminology, a non-governmental
organization dealing in restorative justice, it is pointless releasing prisoners without first
endeavouring to reconcile them with the victims they wronged.

2. EXCERPT (25 MARKS)


Bembe:You have a reputation for being too strong-willed to be suitable for a school teacher.
You're as stubborn as a mule.
Nicole:What crime is that?
Bembe:Well, it is not a crime as such; but don't you think it is a bad influence to the students?
(Bangs the table violently and shouts an order. Two police officers enter.) Handcuff
her!(There is a commotion as the officers reach out to Nicole. She resists but is
overwhelmed. There is an interval of silence as Bembe begins to rummage through papers
on Nicole's table. Nicole refuses to move and sits down on the floor. The officers drug her
on the door) Stop. (The officers stop. There is silence. Then Bembe moves behind
Nicole'stable and starts pulling the drawers open, one after the other) Where have you
hidden it?
Nicole:Hidden what?

Bembe:The Samaritan! (Nicole is visibly surprised at the answerbut remains silent) I will tell you
this, whenever you see mepersonally involved in an arrest, you must know it's aserious
matter, as serious as death. And you should be afraid. Very afraid!
Nicole:I am not guilty of anything, and I refuse to be intimidated!(Inspector Bembe bangs the
table violently with his gun.Nicole recoils with a start.) Woman! Show sumseriousness!
This is no laughing matter. Are you willing to talk?
Nicole:About what? (There is silence as Inspector Bembe wearshis beret and places his scepter
under his armpits)
Bembe:About The Samaritan.
Nicole:What about The Samaritan?
Bembe:Where is it?
Nicole:I don't understand you?
Bembe:Where is it? (He repeats angrily)
Nicole:(Swinging her head in disbelief) I have no such thing in my possession, but you can
download it from the internet.
Bembe:(Hitting Nicole on the face with a bunch of papers) Now you have to tell those two
students to shut that thing off. Alright?
Nicole:Why should I?
Bembe:Because it is the right thing to do!
Nicole:I have no right to dictate what they do with their App.
Bembe:Then you have to shut it down yourself! We believe The Samaritan is your brainchild!
The two students are just a cover-up! And the App is a grave danger to society!
Nicole:Mr. Inspector, when The Samaritan helps us fight environmental degradation by exposing
the culprits, is that dangerous?
Bembe:Fighting environmental degradation is none of the school's business! We have competent
agencies employed to do that! Teach the authorized curriculum.
Nicole:When it helps us to know who supplies air to the Municipal Council instead of goods and
services, is that dangerous?

3. Read the poem below and answer questions that follow:


I AM TIRED OF TALKING IN METAPHORS
I will talk plainly,
Because I am moved to abandon riddles,
I will tell you of how
We held our heads in our hands
Because the owl hooted all night
And the dogs howled as if mourning
We waited the bad news
We received it.
Our mother blinded in one eye
Crippled in the right leg
Because she did not vote
For her husband’s candidate
I will remind you
Of when the peeled plantains
Stood upright in the cooking pot
We slaughtered a cock,
Anticipating an important visitor
We got her:
Our daughter – piece of flesh in a sack
Our present from her husband

No! I will not use metaphors


I will just talk to you:
I do not fight to take your place
Or to constantly wave my fist in you face
I refuse to argue about

Your “manly pact”


with my father
You’ re buying me for a bag of potatoes
And pepper
All I want
Is for you to stop denying me
My presence needs no metaphors

I am here
Just as you are
I am not a machine
To dismantle whenever you whim
I demand my human dignity

1.SEHEMU YA A UFAHAMU (15)
Soma ufahamu huu kisha uyajibu maswali yanayofuata:
Basi huu ni mwanzo tu Mwanzo wa ngoma ni lele.Huu ni mwanzo wa safari ndefu .Itachukua miaka na
mikaka.Lakini msiwe na papara.Sharti mwanzo tutanabahi twaelekea wapi ndipo tuamue tutasafirije
.Tahadhari na hatari ya hasira , visasi na papara pamoja na maradhi yanayozidi yote yaani maradhi
ya matumaini yanayozidi uhalisia.Matumaini yaliopindukia ndiyo huwalewesha watu wakadhani
watapata afueni wakizifuata pepo za siasa za chama kimoja au siasa za vyama vingi , mfumo wa
soko huria au mfumo wa ukiritimba , mfumo wa utandawazi au mfumo wa kibepari , utawala wa
kidekteta au utawala wa kidemokrasia na udini, ujamaa na ukomonisti na kadhalika.
Hatari kabisa ni ya kujenga nyumba ya karata.Nasema tena,tahadhari na ulevi wa ushindi .Mimi
nashauri hivi ;hatua ya kwanza ya elimu si elimu ya shahada au stashahada zipatikanazo
vyuoni.Elimu ya kuijielewa sisi ni nani twatoka wapi , twaelekea wapi na tutaurejeshaje utu pahali
pake mahsusi toka kule mwituni kwa wanyama uliotokomea.
“Amani awe mtemi !”Umati ukadai Hapana hata kidogo.Badala yake acha amani iwe na mtemi mpya
msinivishe joho ambalo si makamo yangu kulivaa,” aliwaambia .”Kaeni mfikirie vyema juu ya
mustakabali wenu.Nilichodhamiria mimi ni kushirikiana na ndugu yangu Madhubuti kumnyonyoa
kipungu mmoja , ila sikutaka niingie pahala pake niruke juu nikijihadaa kwamba nitafika mbinguni.”
Ila msikubali dhuluma .Dhuluma msikubali , ikija dhuluma tena msimlaumu mtu mwingine, jilaumini
wenyewe.Jilaumini tu wenyewe .Nawakumbusha tu kwamba kuwepo mamlakani kwa mtemi
Hamisi muda huu wote si kosa lake tu .Alisema Amani.Ni kosa letu sote .Ni kosa letu sote kwa
kukubali dhuluma zake na udahlili wetu.Kwa kila mtawala katili kuna umma uliomruhusu ama
kumpa uwezo wa kutekeleza ukatili wake.
Pia hatuwezi kuwa binadamu kamili endapo hatuoni walemavu kama wenzetu .Tutakuwa tumelemaa
ulemavu mbaya zaidi kuliko ulemavu.Kauli hii ilkuwa tokeo la funzo alilojifunza Mwalimu Fasiri
kutokana na amali na kalima za imani kuwaelekea Watoto wake walemavu.

2. 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

FOR MARKING SCHEMES CONTACT 0746-222-000 / 0742-999-000


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.

Nilipokukopoa,
Cheko la mwivu wangu lilipaa sana
Ukewenza ukamshawishi kuchukua buruji kueneza habari.
“Njooni mwone jana la ajabu.”
“Hajawahi kuonekana kama huyu
Tangu kuumbwa kwa ulimwengu.”
Ndivyo walisema walokubeza
Kijiji kizima kilimiminika mwangu nyumbani
Kuyatuma maozi kukutazama weye
Uso na thamani walikwona,
Wakaupa unyonge moyo wangu toto,
Wakanituma kuola viungo vyako
Wakanitanabahisha upungufu ulokulemaza!
Chozi chungu likapukitika
Likalovya change kidari
Likalovya chaoko kipaji
Tabasamu ukatoa kunihakikishia
“Mimi si mjalana!
Katu sivyo wasemavyo walimwengu!”
Neno lako hili likanipa tulivu
Nikaamua alakulihali kupambana na yangu jumuiya
Ilpsema kwa moja kauli utokomezwe, chakani utupwe.
Tazameni mahasidi mloteka
Teko la dharau mlonimwaiya
Mkanitia ukiwa usomithilika!
Oleni! Tungeni macho!
Mwana mlioambaa ukoma
<lomwinga ja nyuni wala mtama, tazameni
Mekuwa malaika, anowaauni
Kiguru mlomtajia hakimzuwii kufuma mishale!
Maadui wamwonapo hutetema kama jani
Mefagia vijiji vinane kwa pigo moja la kiganja chake
Mepigana vita visohisabika
Na Wetu mahasimu waliotupoka na mifugo.

Jamii yetu sasa metawala kote


Umekuwa nahodha mwenye kubwa saburi
Akili yako nyepesi sumaku kweli kweli
