Chief Ullini’s daughter.

Every dark cloud were gathering in the late afternoon sky. There was stillness in the air, a
stillness that threatened a storm.
The boatman who rowed people across the lake was making fast his boat when a young man
and a woman approached him in a great hurry. They were desperate to cross the lake, they said,
and urged him to take them. He shook his head and pointed to the sky he told them that the
storm was soon calming and that they should wait until it blew over. It would be dangerous to
take his small rowing boat out to the lake.
All the time he was talking, the young couple were nervously looking behind them. Simon, the
young man pleaded with the batman to take them and offered him purse of silver coins. He told
the boatman that he and the Elizabeth, the young woman, were in love and were determine to
marry. Her father was chief ullini and he wanted to marry Elizabeth off to a neighboring chief,
a man she did not love. The chief was at that moment pursuing them. They must cross the lake
to be safe.
The boatman knew of chief ullini fiery temper and how he would kill the young man if he
caught him he could also see how very much in love the young couples were .Just then the
boatman son Eric came. He was strucking young man who helps his father , he was told the
story of the young couple and sympathized with the plight. The young man spoke up. She
would rather, she said, face the turbulent water than meet the wrath of the angry father. Tears
weld up n her eyes, never, she protested, would she marry a man she didn’t love.
The boatman was touched by her a appeal and told her son he had decided to row the couple
across not for money, but because he admired their talent and love Eric looked anxiously at his
father. A storm was certainly coming , he warned .it will be far too risky.
However, his father was already herding his passenger into his boat. when they were both
seated he untied the rope and made to get in himself. Suddenly , Eric pulled his father away
and leapt into the boat took up the 0ars and began to row away.
His father ,when he had recovered his breath ,shouted for his son to come back .His wife, on
hearing the shout went down to the lakes edge .seeing her son rowing away over the stormy
water, she screamed for him to return .The threatening wind whipped her words away.
Towards the lake a group of armed men came. It was the chief with his warriors. He was angry,
but when he saw his daughter on the lake being tossed by angry waves he was terribly afraid
.He bellowed that he forgive them and that they should return.
It was in vain as he shouted the waves capsized the little craft and its three young occupants
were drowned as the old people watched.

UFAHAMU
Soma makala yafuatayo kisha ujibu maswali uliyoulizwa.

(ala 15)
Mateso ya wanawakiwa ni suala la kijamii linalofaa kutazamwa kwa darubini kali. Hata
hivyo wanoathirika zaidi ni watoto ambao bado wako katika umri unaohitaji kulelewa na
kupewa mahitaji ya msingi kama mavazi, malazi, elimu na mengine anuwai. Hali ya kuachwa
na wazazi imekuwa ikizikumba jamii tangu enzi za mababu na kila itokeapo, wanajamii
huipokea kwa mitazamo tofautitofauti, hivyo kuwafanya wanawakiwa kuathirika sana.
Baadhi ya jamii zina imani za kijadi pamwe na mila zilizochakaa zinazozifanya
kuamini kuwa baadhi ya vifo hutokana na laana. Wengine huchukulia kuwa mwendazake
ameondolewa na ulogi. Imani kama hizi huifanya jamii kuwatia watoto waliochwa katika
mkumbo ule ule, hivyo kuwaangalia kwa macho yasiyo ya kawaida. Hii husababisha dhana
gande. Hali hii husababisha kuwachukulia watoto kama wanaotoka katika kizazi
kilicholaaniwa. Jamii basi hukosa kuwapa watoto hawa stahiki yao. Hata wanapojitahidi
kuiwania nafasi yao, waliowazunguka huwavunja mioyo. Jitihada zao huishia kuwa si
chochote kwa kuwa jamii inawatazama kama waliolaaniwa.
Punde baada ya mzazi mmoja au wote wawili waendapo wasikorudi, inatarajiwa
kwamba aliyeachiwa mtoto awe mzazi wake, mwanafamilia au jirani awajibike na kumtunza
mwanamkiwa. Kunao kadha wa kadha wanaowajibika – nina wavulia kofia. Hata hivyo
wengi hutelekeza jukumu hii walilopewa na Muumba. Si ajabu basi kuona kuwa idadi ya
watoto wanaozurura mitaani inazidi kuongezeka kila uchao. Ukichunguza utakuta kuwa
wengi wa watoto hawa ni waliopotelewa na wazazi wao. Inakera zaidi kugundua kuwa
baadhi ya watoto hawa wana mzazi mmoja. Kwamba mke au mume wa mtu ameaga, au iwe
kwamba mzazi mmoja alimza mtoto na kumwachia mwenzake mzigo wa ulezi, aliyeachiwa
na jukumu la kumpa mwanawe mahitaji ya msingi. Machoni pa jalali, kila anayeupuuza
wajibu huu ana hukumu yake siku ya kiama!
Ni haki ya kila mtoto kupata elimu. Katika katiba ya Kenya mathalan, elimu ya
msingi, yaani kuanzia shule ya chekechea hadi kidato cha nne ni ya lazima. Tangu hapo hata
hivyo, jamii zimekuwa zikiwanyima wanawakiwa wengi elimu. Kwamba kunao wachache
wanaowaelimisha baadhi ya wanawakiwa ni kweli. Hata hivyo, wengine hukosa hata wa
kuwapeleka katika shule ya chekechea, hivyo kuishia kutojua hata kuandika majina yao.
Mfikirie mtu katika karne ya 21 asiyejua kusoma wala kuandika! Nani ajuaye, huenda huyo
mwanamkiwa asiyepelekwa shuleni ndiye angalikuwa profesa, daktari, mwalimu, rubani au
msomi mtajika na mtaalamu wa uwanja muhimu katika jamii!
Kila mtoto ana haki ya kulelewa hadi kufikia utu uzima kabla ya kupewa majukumu
mazito. Katika katiba ya Kenya, utu uzima, ulio umri wa kuanza kufanya kazi huanzia miaka
18. Wanaohakikisha watoto hawa wametimiza utu uzima kabla ya kufanyizwa gange ngumu
wanafaa pongezi. Hata hivyo wanawakiwa wamekuwa wakitumiwa na wengi kama punda wa
huduma. Wanaaila wengine huwachukua wanawakiwa kwa machozi mengi wazazi wao
waagapo na kuapa kuwahifadhi na kuwatunza wana wale wa ndugu zao, kumbe ni machozi
ya simba kumlilia swara! Hata kabla ya mwili wa mzazi mhusika kuliwa na viwavi, mateso
kwa mtoto yule huanza, akawa ndiye afanyaye kazi zote ngumu. Utakuta watoto wao
wamekaa kama sultan bin jerehe huku mwanamkiwa yule akiwapikia, kuwafulia nguo,
kudeki, karibu hata wa waoshe miili! Kazi kama zile za shokoa huwa za sulubu na aghalabu
husindikizwa kwa matusi yasiyoandikika.
Baadhi ya waja walionyimwa huruma huwahadaa wanawakiwa na kuwapeleka
ng’ambo wakitumia vyambo, kuwa wakifika kule watapata kazi za kifahari. Maskini wale
huishia kushikwa shokoa, wakawa watumwa katika nyumba za waajiri wao, bila namna ya
kujinasua. Wengine huishia kutumiwa kama watumwa wa ‘Kimapenzi’ katika madanguro,
miili yao ikawa ya kuuziwa makahaba waroho wasiojali utu. Kujinasua kule huwa sawa na
kujitahidi kuokoa ukuni uliokwishageuka jivu, maadamu wanawakiwa aghalabu hukosa
watu wenye mioyo ya huruma ya kuwashughulikia. Wengi huitumia methali ‘ mwana wa
ndugu kirugu mjukuu mwanangwa’ kuwapuuzilia mbali wanawakiwa ambao hukimbiliwa tu
wabinafsi hawa wanapofaidika wenyewe.

UFUPISHO
Soma makala yafuatayo kisha ujibu maswali uliyoulizwa
Wanawake wanaoishi katika maeneo ya mashambani katika nchi zinazoendelea ni baadhi ya

watu waliotopea na kubobea kwenye umaskini mkubwa na wanaoathiriwa na matatizo kwa
kiwango kikubwa ulimwenguni. Jumla ya idadi ya wanawake hawa wanaoishi chini ya
kiwango cha chini cha umaskini inakadiriwa kuwa zaidi ya milioni 600. Hii ni idadi kubwa
hasa ikikumbukwa kuwa ni asilimia kubwa ya wanawake wanaoishi kwenye maeneo haya.

Ulimwengu umeshuhudia ongezeko la idadi ya watu au dadiwakazi; kuwako kwa
matatizo ya kiuchumi ulimwenguni; mitafaruku na vita vya kikabila, majanga ya kiasilia
kama mafuriko ya maji, ukame au milipuko ya volkeno katika maeneo yanayoathiriwa nayo.
Sababu nyingine ni uharibifu na ushukaji wa hali ya kimazingira, mabadiliko ya desturi au
thamani za kitamaduni; kusambaratika kwa familia au misingi ya familia; utengano na hasa
wakati wa shida pamoja na uhamaji wa wanaume na kuwaachia jukumu kubwa. Aidha kuna
kuongezeka kwa hali ya wanawake kuwa wazazi pekee na hivyo kuongeza idadi ya miji
inayoongozwa na wanawake na kukosekana kwa mikakati bora au ifaayo ya kupambana na
maisha.
Wanawake wanaoishi mashambani wanaathrika vibaya sana. Kwanza, kama masikini
wanaishi katika mazingira makali. Pili, kama wanawake wanakabiliana na mapendeleo ya
kisera na kitamaduni ambayo yanaudharau na kuupuuza mchango wao katika maendeleo.
Tatu, kama viongozi wa miji (hasa wale wanaolea na kuzitunza jamaa zao peke yao)
wanalazimika kupambana na uongozi wa miji pamoja uzalishaji. Aghalabu hawapati usaidizi
au auni yoyote katika majukumu kama haya: wanalazimika kupambana nayo peke yao.
Katika hali zote tatu zilizotangulia, wanawake hawapati nafasi zifaazo kushiriki katika
maamuzi ya masuala yanayowahusu. Masuala mengi yanaamuliwa na wanaume bila ya
kuwahusisha.
Licha ya dhiki yao kubwa, wanawake hawa wanachangia katika maendeleo ya kijamii
na kiuchumi kwa njia tatu kuu. Mchango huu unaonekana katika kiwango cha jamii na taifa,
kiwango cha mji na kupitia kwa kizazi kijacho. Katika kiwango cha kijamii na kitaifa,
wanawake hawa ni chanzo cha nguvukazi. Nguvukazi hii inatokana na wao wenyewe pamojo
na kizazi chao. Pia ni msingi muhimu wa uwekaji rasilmali na kuhifadhi; aghalabu wana
uwezo bora wa kutunza chochote walicho nacho kuliko wanaume. Katika kiwango cha mji,
wanawake wa mashambani wanahakikisha kuwako kwa chakula, na njia za kukitayarisha
chakula hicho. Katika kiwango cha vizazi, wanawake hawa wanakuwa kiungo kikubwa kati
ya kizazi kijacho na vizazi vya kesho. Hawa ndio wanaowatunza, kuwalea na kuwaelimisha
watoto na kuhakikisha kuwa pana muungano kati ya vizazi vya jamii.
