MJARABU WA KWANZA
1. UFAHAM U

Wahenga walisema “motto umleavyo ndivyo akuavyo”. Hii in maana ya kuwa ukiogopa kutumia
ufito kumchapa motto wako, ukamdekeza, utadeka na hatimaye ataharibika. Methali hii ina
pacha yake ambayo ni “ukicha mwana kulia, utalia wewe.

Hizi ni methali zilizojaa busara kubwa. Mathalani, wewe ni mzazi au mtu yeyote mzima
aliyetunukiwa madaraka juu ya watoto, lakini kila wanapokiuka uadilifu au mmoja wao
anapokosea wewe unambembeleza tu, basi huwa unaizorotesha tabia yake. Mtoto huyo anaweza
kuishia kuwa mtundu.

Hata hivyo, ni sharti tujue ya kwamba tuko katika nji apanda hapa. Kwa upande mmoja, zamani
ilichukuliwa kwamba watoto n ahata mzima ana jambo la kuwaeleza, njia pekee ya kuliingiza
katika ‘akili yao’ ni kuwatwanga ili kulikongomeza jambo hili. Ukweli ni kwamba akili ya motto si
hafifu hata. Unaweza kusema ni kam ammea, ambao usiporutubishwa kimakusudi, ukapaliliwa
vyem ana kustawishwa stahiki yake, basi hudhoofu; na mwisho kufifia .

Kwa upande mwingine, mtazamo wa kisas ani tofauti kabisa. Imethibitishwa ya kiwamba
wanawake ni sawa kabisa katika maumbile yao wakilinganishwa na wanaume. Kwa jinsi hiyo,
kweli wapo wanawake ambao hawana mwelekeo timamu kuhusu maisha, lakini ni kweli kuwa
watoto wote, kwa sababu ya umri wao tu, basihawana akili. Kadhalika, si kwe li kuwa watoto wote,
kwa sababu ya umri wao tu basi hawana akili. Ama kwa kusema kweli binadamu yeyote huzaliwa
na akilipungufu. Hili litokeapo, basi tunalikubali tu. Hatuwezi kumlaumu mtu kama huyo au
muumba wake. Kwa hakika huu ndio msingi wa methali, “akili ni nywele, kila mtu an azake.”
Vinginevyo, mtazamo wa kizamani ni taasubi kongwe tu za kiume zilizopitwa na wakati.

Aidha, kwa sababu watu wote huzaliwa na akili timamu, tene hawawi watu wazima kabla ya kuwa
watoto kwanza, mtu mzima yeyote an ahali gani ya kuwadhulumu watotro na kujipambaniza na
lawama za uongo dhidi ya vijana hao kwa madai kuwa hawana akili? Na je, ikiwa hawana akili,
basi ndipo waonewe? Wanyanyaswe? Hii si jambo la busara. Kurudi Mtoto kwa visa vya maonevu
ni kumrudisha nyuma kiumbe huyo. Kurudi kufaako ni kwa kupeleka, sio kwa kurudisha nyuma.
Kurudi kuelekezako mbele ni kwa uongozi ambao lengo lake ni kumulikia mtoto kurunzi ilimradi
kumwangazia tariki njema.

Mtoto asinyimwe vya tunu vyovyote ambavyo ni stahiki yake, kwa kisingizio kuwa vimetengewa
mtu mzima, ndugu mkubwa, mwalimu, au mtu awaye yeyote Yule aliyekabidhiwa jukumu la
kumlea au mtu mzima, ndugu mkubwa, mwalimu au mtu awaye yeyeto. Yule aliyekabidhiwa
jukumu la kumlea au kumwogoza motto.

Mtoto ana haki ya kuhudumiwa kwa njia yeyote ifaayo ili akue na akili yake ikomae kikamilifu.
Inafaa asomeshwe,apewe malezi bora ili naye alee wengine kistahiki.

C. UFAHAMU

Soma makala ya ifuatayo ki sha ujibu maswali.
Mabadiliko ya hali ya anga ni suala nyeti katika ulimwengu mzima. Suala hili sasa limetoa
msukumo wa kulazimu kupanua nafasi ya uhifadhi wa mazingira .
Kwa sasa, ni bayana kuwa waja wakiendelea na mtindo wa maisha ya kibepari ya kutumia mali
asili kwa ulafi wa kukidhi tu haja zao bila kujali maslahi ya wengi, basi dunia itahiliki
hatimaye.Lazima tufahamu fika kuwa tunapaswa kutumia mazingira yetu kwa manufaa
ya leo na kwa vizazi vya kesho.
Tayari athari za mabadiliko ya hewa yameanza kuathiri kila sehemu ya nchi yetu ya Kenya.
Mvua hainyeshi jinsi ilivyokuwa awali, kilimo kinafeli kwa sababu ya kuzidi kwa
kiangazi, maelfu ya mifugo wamekufa kwa kukosa malisho na maji. Jamii za wafugaji
sasa zinakosa lishe bora kwa sababu ya dhiki na ufukara. Bei za bidhaa za kimsingi
zimepanda mijini na mshambani kutokana na ukame ulioko sehemu nyingi. Isitoshe
chemchemi za maji zinapotea huku mito ikikauka, wanyama pori wanakufa kwa njaa na
kiu, makabiliano kati ya binadamu na wanyama pori yameongezeka, nao ufukara
unaongezeka kila siku miongoni mwa umma. Hali hii sasa inachangia kuzorota kwa
usalama hasa katika sehemu kame. Kuna visa vingi vya kuibiana mifugo na kubishiana
chemchemi za maji na mali asli. Asilimia kubwa ya mito imekauka, chemchemi za maji
zinapotea na vinamisi vya milima ya taifa havipo tena kutokana na uharibifu wa misitu na
utumiaji mbaya wa malisasili.
Ndiyo maana hutajasita kukariri kuwa mabadiliko ya hali ya anga ni mtikisiko wa kitaifa kwani
ni hali ya hatari na kuwa kila mtu ana jukumu kujitahidi kiasi cha uwezo wake kuchangia
uhifadhi wa mazingira .Mvua ikinyesha tupande miti, tuhifadhi chemchemi za maji na
sehemu za unyevunyevu tulinde mito na maziwa yetu;tulime huku tukihifadhi udongo
wetu,tufuge ,si kwa haja ya kuwa na mifugo wengi bali kwa kukidhi mahitaji na pia
kulinda mazingira;tujitayarishe kuhifadhi maji ya mvua kwa ajili ya matumizi ya
nyumbani na kilimo tuzidishe juhudi za kupanda mimea mbalimbali ya chakula huku pia
tukifufua ile ya kienyeji.
Hatakati za kupambana kuhifadhi msitu wa Mau,ambao ni chanzo kikubwa zaidi cha maji na
mito nchini na hata Afrika Mashariki zinajulikana .Kutokana na vitendo vya ulafi wa
viongozi wetu msitu huu umevamiwa na kuharibiwa na hata unatishia maisha ya mito,
maziwa, mbuga za kuhifadhi wanyama pori na mamilioni ya watu wanaotegemea msitu
huu kwa njia moja au nyingine.Tunatambua kwamba juhudi nyingi zinafanywa na
serikali kutokana na shinikizo za wa wakereketwa na wadau wa mazingira .Lakini
lazima serikali itumie uwezo wake wote kulinda misitu ya Mau,Mlima Kenya,mlima
Elgon na misitu mingine kwa jumla.Tusipuuze misitu na mazingira kwa sababu ya siasa
duni.
Serikali haifai kuachiwajukumu la kulinda misitu pekee bali wananchi pia wanafaa wajitume
kwani mazingira yanahusu uhai wa kila mmoja wetu.Kuntu umoja ni nguvu utengano ni
udhaifu.Ndiyo maana tunachukua fursa hii kuwapongeza wakazi wa Malava katika kauti
ya Kakamega ambao hivi majuzi walijitokeza mzomzo kupinga uharibifu wa msitu huo

4 | Page
 na kuungana pamoja kupanda takriban miche hamsini elfu.watu waharibifu
wasiruhusiwe kuangamiza misitu , mazingira, mandhari na masiha kule Malava.
Serikali pia inapaswa kutenga hela kulinda misitu inayofunika milima.Milima ya taifa ni
mandhari yanayopendeza nchini na lazima kila juhudi za kulinda uhai katika milima hii
zifanye .Ni jukumu la maafisa wa ardhi ,wa mazingira na wa misitu kutoa ushauri kwa
serikali kwamba kuna hatari ya misitu kumalizwa na watu wabinafsi.Sheria ihimizwe na
wananchi wahamasishwe huhusu umuhimu wa kulinda na kuimarisha mazingira.
