Soma kifungu kifuatacho kisha ujibu maswali 31 – 40
Hivi karibuni, nchi ya Kenya iliingia katika hesabu ya zile nchi ambazo zimewahi kudungwa na mwiba wa vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe. Japo vita hivi vilisababishwa na uchaguzi wa mwaka Elfu mbili na saba, vilituonyesha namna tulivyogawanyika katika misingi ya kikabila. Kuna mengi ambayo tunaweza kufanya ili kuuziba ufa huu ambao umetugawanya.
Kwanza tunaweza kuhimiza matumizi ya lugha ya taifa katika nyanja zote za maisha badala ya watu kutumia lugha zao za mama. Vilevile, viongozi waache ukabila na wawe na mtazamo wa kitaifa. Wamechangia sana kuchochea hisia za kikabila badala ya kuwaunganisha Wakenya. Maeneobunge mengine yamegawika katika misingi ya kikabila na hata kupewa majina ya kikabila. Pia inafaa kila Mkenya ahubiri umoja wa kitaifa.
Shule zetu za upili zimekuwa vyungu vya kuchemshia ukabila. Isipokuwa shule za kitaifa ambazo huchukua wanafunzi kutoka maeneo yote nchini, shule za magatuzi almaarufu kaunti na zile za wilaya huchukua asilimia sabini ya wanafunzi kutoka maeneo ya karibu. Hivyo basi utapata mwanafunzi amesomea eneo hilo kutoka shule ya msingi mpaka kidato cha nne. Wanafunzi kama hawa hutumia lugha za mama na kwa hivyo hawachangii katika utaifa. Itafaa vilevile iwapo kutakuwa na ugavi sawa na rasilimali. Ilivyo sasa ni kuwa maeneo mengine yana maendeleo ya hali ya juu na mengine hayana hata chakula. Jambo hili linaleta uhasama wa kimaeneo.
Tunaweza vilevile kuwa na siku ya utamaduni ambapo tuna maonyesho ya kitamaduni. Kwa kuonyesha utamaduni wa kila kabila nchini, tutafurahia tamaduni anuwai tulizo nazo na kuzichukulia kuwa kitegauchumi kuliko kuwa sababu ya vita.
Makundi haramu pia yanaleta ukabila. Wakati wa vita vilivyozuka hapa nchini, kila kabila lilikuwa na kundi lake la kulipigania. Kulikuwa na uhalifu mkubwa uliosababishwa na makundi haya yafaa kupigwa marufuku.
Nafasi za kazi nazo ziwaendee wale waliohitimu na wala si kutolewa kwa misingi ya kikabila. Vilevile, iwapo viongozi watakuwa mifano mizuri watasaidia sana viongozi waache matamshi kama vile, “kabila letu linaonewa," au "Ndugu zangu tunamalizwa.” Iwapo watakuwa na mitazamo ya kitaifa, basi watasaidia sana kuleta mtagusano katika nchi hii.
Wananchi wenyewe waelewe kitu kimoja, kuwa makabila nchini Kenya ni mawili - matajiri na maskini. Kwa mfano, hata baada ya kuwachonganisha Wakenya viongozi wetu huonekana wakila na kucheka pamoja. Sisi wananchi tumebaki na kinyongo lakini wao ni marafiki baada ya kututumia na kupata walichotaka, madaraka.
Vyombo vya habari vinapaswa kuarifa, kuelimisha, kuburudisha na kuyafichua maovu. Hata hivyo, kuzuka kwa idhaa za kikabila kimechangia kuvuruga umoja. Viongozi hutumia vyombo hivi kuhubiri chuki kwa watu wa makabila yao. Mambo ya aina hii hudhoofisha juhudi za kulinganisha taifa.
Hakika, ni vyema tufikirie kuhusu wajibu wetu katika maendeleo yetu binafsi na ya taifa letu. Chombo hakiendi ila kwa kafi. Tukijijenga, taifa zima tutapiga hatua kubwa pia. Badala ya kutumia juhudi zetu kuzozana kwa misingi ya kikabila, ni vyema tushikane mikono ili tusonge mbele pamoja.

    4. kuwanyima nafasi wanafunzi wa jamii za karibu.
35. Kuendelea kwa baadhi ya maeneobunge kuliko mengine ni ishara kuwa,
    1. ubaguzi unajitokeza katika ugavi wa rasilimali.
    2. mipaka ya kimaeneo imewekwa kwa misingi va kikabila.
    3. watu wa maeneo haya wana bidii kuliko wenzao.

    4. utamaduni.

Payuka alikuwa kilimilimi hivi kwamba lolote alilonasa kwa yeyote awaye yule, sharti angeliwasilisha na kumtaarifu mwingine. Hakujali lilisemwa na nani au kwa nini. Hata mambo ya faragha ya baraza la wazee angeingilia tu, sijui akiwa mgeni wa nani, kisha angeyasambaza hata kwa vibaka na vigoti. Udukizi wa namna hii ulimpelekea kuwa na rabsha baina yake na wote waliomzunguka. Kila aliyemwona akikaribia alijaribu kuyafunika maneno yake hadi apite. Msemo, “funika kombe mwanaharamu apite," ukawa wamlenga yeye.
Waaidha, alikuwa na ulimi wa upanga. Kungalikuwa na mashindano ya kukaripiana, neno la kwanza la payuka lingalimpiga dafrao mpinzani wake hata ajiuzulu mara moja. Alifikiri maisha ni jukwaa la mashindano na kwake yeye aliyekuwa na upyaro wa msimu ndiye angeshinda. Maneno yake yote yalikuwa mfano wa sumu ya joka kali. Naye kwake, hili lilikuwa na hasara pia. Aliuvaa uso usiofurahi, kila wakati umekunja mapeto, midomo imekunjana na uso umejaa makanyanza kama mzee mwenye umri wa miaka mia moja. Mgeni yeyote aliyemwona na kusikia kuwa alikuwa mtoto ambaye hata ubwabwa haujamtoka shingoni alimaka.
Payuka pia alikuwa mcheza shere. Ukweli ukawa neno lisilo na maana kwake. Hakuiona ahadi kuwa deni kazini angeahidi jambo fulani wala asingelitimiza asilani. Mkutanapo angekupiga chenga kukudanganya. Angekupaka mafuta kwa mgongo wa chupa na uridhikapo na kuenda, angeahirisha utekelezaji wa ahadi yenu hadi mtakapokutana tena. Kwa mtendwa, hii ilikuwa dhihaka iliyokithiri.
Uchokochoko wake ulimfanya awe ndumakuwili. Akimwona yeyote akinawiri angejitokeza kama anayeteremea mno na mwenye kusherehekea pamoja na apataye. Hili lingefanya anayelengwa kumfunulia moyo wake wote na kuuacha wazi kwake amchunguze atakavyo. Maadui wangevutwa kwa ulimi. Kuna walioibwa kutapeliwa, kuhujumiwa kwa mioto au kwa namna yoyote ile, wengine waliuawa kutokana na hila zake kumbe alitafuta jinsi ya kufaidika yeye!
Naye avumaye baharini papa kumbe wengine wapo? Ukiua kwa upanga, kwa upanga pia utakufa. Chokochoko za payuka zikawabughudhi vijana wengi kwa muda mrefu, nao wakampangia njama. Wakaitumia njia ile ile aliyotumia kulipizia kisasi - ulimi mtamu. Walijua kuwa yeye alipenda kuutumia ulimi wake kupata sifa. Wakati huo makachero walikuwa wakichunguza kwa kina vyanzo vya visa mbalimbali vya uhalifu kitongojini humo. Wakajua kumsifu kwa kiasi kidogo tu kungemfanya kujisahau na kuelezea siri zake zote
Licha ya kuutumia kuropoka, ulimi wa Payuka pia ulitumiwa kuchapa maji. Siku ya mtego, vijana hao walijifanya karimu kwelikweli, wakamnunulia kileo. Alipokwishauchapa ugimbi, vijana wakaanza kumsifu Payuka kwa ujanja huku wakiwakashifu watu mbalimbali waliojua kuwa walikwishahasiriwa na afriti huyu. Kusikia sifa zake zainuka, alianza kutokwa na maneno shelabela. Alieleza alivyowashusha wote hao kwajinzi mbalimbali - kuna aliowapangia kuuawa, kuibiwa, kuchomewa nyumba na kadhalika.
Wakati huu wote, kachero mmoja alikwishakaribia akiwa na kiredio cha kunasia sauti. Akishaboboka bobobo, makachero wawili wakajitokeza, wakajitambulisha na kumfahamisha Payuka shughuli zao pale. Alipojaribu kujitetea kiredio kikafunguliwa, akayasikia yote aliyosimulia. Akalevuka palepale, akawaangalia vijana wale majirani ambao sasa walikuwa wakitabasamu. “Twende kituoni!” Makachero wakamwamuru. Waliokuwepo wakajisemea nyoyoni, “Kweli heri kujikwaa dole kuliko kujikwaa ulimi”.

When Siro's goat disappeared, he looked for it for almost the entire evening. He had tied it close to his home and although he was sure it had not snapped the rope, it was not there and there was no trace of the rope too. He was about to give up hope when the stillness of the night enabled him hear the muffled noise of a goat in distress. He keenly listened again. He moved stealthily, following paths and crossing fences and hedges and was relieved to find it. It was tied in the thicket behind Lima's home with the same rope. He simply untied it, removed the plastic container that had been put round the mouth to contain the sound level and led it home. He was sure he knew who the thief was.
Two weeks later, his ncighbour, Kalua, lost his goat in the same circumstance. As Kalua searched from home to home, checking if his goat could have strayed there, he got no positive response. Then, he decided to check at Siro's home and this is how he got a companion. As the pair walked towards the thicket near Lima's home, they heard a sound Siro claimed was familiar to him. They were not equally surprised as their discussion had been along that line. They bumped into the goat, tied at almost the same spot, with the mouth covered in the same fashion. Not interested in making accusations that could not be substantiated but just end up straining relationships in the village, they took the goat away. I lowever, they had a plan in mind on how to stop the thief once and for all.

It was just that none of them wanted to be the one to ask the others if they could leave. They were already dristing in and out of sleep when they heard the rustling of Icaves. Something' was coming and his cough made it clear that it was a human being. The moon was up so they could make out the shape of a tall man with a big hat. On one hand, he had a club and as he cautiously made his way, his walking style was unmistakable. The person approaching was not Lima but Walo, the watchman of the school behind the hedge where they were.
Walo went to where the goat was tied, coughed again then untied it. Little did he know that three men were silently moving towards him and already, he was at the centre with no chance of escape. Then, Siro, who was the nearest to where he was, coughed. Walo's club dropped to the ground, just as Siro shouted he surrenders by raising his hands or get killed. Due to shock, scar or both, he obliged and the men cut part of the rope with which the goat had been tied, used it to tic his hands at the back and walked him to his workplace to begin the second phase of waiting.

Owning a home is great. It is security but should it really be your financial goal? Some financial experts actually recommend that renting a house is better than struggling to buy one. A home is not an investment because it doesn't pay you every month. In fact, you have to pay for your home every month. An investment is not a good deal if you are paying in and no cash flow is coming out. Your capital is tied up, you can't access it. Instead, it's even better you invest in yourself, developing your skills and focusing on growing your income first.
When you rent, you have a set amount that you pay every month that you can easily budget for. The advantage of renting is that it also allows you to live without that debt. You may think that you are only paying rent but you are also buying something else: time. Time to think through exactly what you want for the long-term in terms of owning a house, time to save and time to shop around for a house and location that will be worth your time and not end up costing more than you had planned for it. It also allows you move when necessary, something to consider if you want to cast your net wider in terms of finances. While renting, you also don't have to worry about cost like security. These are the landlord's problems.
Most of the time, investing in housing is a good idea but buying into the idea that it will always give you a profit could leave you disappointed. A little investigation into the state of housing in several markets both here in Kenya and even abroad is very important. The price of houses recently fell by 1.8 % in the first half of the year.
We have all heard the running joke of the man who owns a Prado but parks it outside a rented house. Is he a fool not to have bought a house? What this belief fails to acknowledge is opportunity cost, which is the cost of a missed opportunity. Being stuck in a ‘matatu’ that has refused to be filled with passengers to leave or one that stops every five hundred metres can cost you a lot of time. You could end up missing what was supposed to be yours in terms of a doctor's appointment, an interview, a job, money and even status. Who can respect a person who can't keep time?
The few coins you save when use a ‘matatu' may end up being a drop in the ocean in comparison to what you could have gained during the time you lost. When you use our car, you can also use it as an extra source of income if you can use it to ferry people to work or even put it to work. It may also come in handy during emergencies and may make more financial sense if you have a family.
Remember, we usually pay more for quality. However, be careful! At times, we just pay more for brand names rather than the quality of the item. This happens more in medicine where most people do not buy generics while their composition is exactly the same as the original drugs.
