SECTION B: COMPREHENSION (20mks)

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow
Decades ago, two geologists visited Migori County and left villagers with high hopes of striking it
reach.

A valuable mineral had been discovered.

Now, 20 years later, nothing much has been done to tap the gold in Macalder. Instead, hundreds of
people have died in the process of digging the mines, while pregnant women working in the area have been
giving birth to children with deformities.

Residents attribute their misfortunes to lack of modern equipment to professionally exploit the
mineral. They have been mining gold using mercury mixed with water and powdered stones which they stir
to the consistency of porridge before washing off the mercury into their farms.

One man is keen to prevent deaths among the residents depending on gold mining as a source of income.
He has invented a gold mining machine- the ball mill machine.
Mr. Olello, 41says he got idea for the machine from a friend who went to Zimbabwe on business and
returned with a photograph of a gold mining machine.

“It took me two years to design my first machine and in 1999, I eventually came up with the ball mill” .
Mr.Okello says his villagers neither knew nor cared whether mercury was harmful to their health.

Mr. Okello explains that his machine is a multipurpose appliance. It can mill numerous kinds of rocks
for building materials industry.

For gold mining, the machine uses small steel ball grinders which separate gold ore from dust, after which it
is further refined.
Among the places that have been mapped for gold deposits within the region are Rongo, Kehancha in Kuria
District; Masara and Kehara in Nyatike constituency, Lolgorian area in Trans Mara and some parts of Siaya
county.

Gold qualities make it one of the most coveted metals in the world. Not only can it be beautifully shaped
and sculpted, the yellow metal conducts electricity and does not tarnish.

Gold has been used in dentistry for nearly 3,000 years. It is used for filling, crowns, bridges and
orthodontic appliances. Gold can be placed in contact with person’s body and not cause harm.

Jibu maswali yote.

1. UFAHAMU

Soma makala yafuatayo kisha ujibu maswali.

Changamoto kubwa inayowakabili watu wengi katika mataifa yanayoendelea ni suala

la chakula. Suala hili linaweza kuangaliwa katika sawia mbili tofauti. Kuna tatizo
linalofungamana na uhaba wa chakula chenyewe. Uhaba huu unaweza kutokana na
utegemezi mkubwa kwa zaraa kama nyenzo kuu ya uzalishaji wa chakula.

Zaraa katika mataifa mengi hususan yanayoendelea, hutegemea mvua. Kupatikana

kwa mvua huathiriwa na mabadiliko ya tabianchi ulimwnguni. Matendo na amali za watu
kama ukataji wa miti na uchafuzi wa mazingira huwa na athari hasi kwenye tabianchi hiyo.
Mabadiliko ya tabianchi huweza kuvyaza ukama kutokana na ngambi ya mvua.

Kibinimethali kutokea wakati mafuriko yanapotokea na labda kuyasomba mazao

mashambani na kusababisha baa la njaa. Hali hizi mbili husababisha matatizo makubwa ya
chakula na kuathiri pakubwa suala zima la usalama wa chakula. Ili kuzuia uwezokano wa
kuwepo kwa shida hii, pana haja ya kuwepo kwa mikakati na sera za kuhakikisha kuna
usalama wa chakula. Kwa mfano, pana haja ya kukuza kilimo cha umwagiliaji ili kuepuka
adha inayosababishwa na ukosefu wa mvua. Kwa upande mwingine, sharti zichukuliwe
hatua mufidi za kuzuia na kupambana na athari za gharika.

Changamoto nyingine inahusiana na usalama wa chakula chenyewe. Chakula

kilichosibikwa na vijasumu au kwa njia nyingine ile huweza kumdhuru anayehusika. Msibiko

wa chakula unatokana na vyanzo tofauti. Mathalan uandalizi wa chakula kilichochafuliwa na

choo, kutozingatia mbeko za usafi, uandaaji wa chakula na kukiweka katika hali ya
uvuguvugu kabla ya kukipakua – hali inayochochea ukuaji wa viini na ulaji wa chakula
kisichoandaliwa vyema.

Ili kuepuka uwezekano wa kuathirika, pana haja ya kuzingatia usafi wa chakula na

uandalizi unaofaa. Fauka ya hayo, vyombo cya uandalizi view safi, kanuni za usafi zifuatwe,
upikaji na uandaaji uwe kamilifu. Hali hii isipozingatiwa, siha za raia wenyewe zitaathirika
pakubwa.
