Census officials should count people before midnight

Census officials should count people before midnight

I met a group of Mombasa County residents in an intense debate about fears of the upcoming census.Their pertinent questions were valid,such as why is the census being done at night? If the census officials knock at their door at 2.00 am should they open the door? Why should census officials not count residents in the daytime? Because of the recent insecurity,the residents expressed their fears and worries that rogue people will look for police uniform and take advantage of the census night and rob and injure residents.Let census officials start counting people as early as from 5.00 pm as some families will have arrived at home.Chief's should also be sensitized to talk to their residents to come early to their homes so that the counting become a success.Let the government tell employers to release their employees early by at least one hour.Therefore Mombasa County residents want to see the census officials counting them as early as possible, because they fear bad people taking advantage of the census exercise.

Methali, Vitendawili, nahau, misemo,

  Kiswahili: Methali, Vitendawili, nahau, misemo, Ada ya mja hunena, mwungwana ni kitendo. It is customary for a slave to talk, but a free man acts. (Mja is only used in this way in this proverb, otherwise it would be - a foreigner) Adhabu ya kaburi, aijua maiti.  The torture of the grave is known only to the dead. (The one who wears the shoes knows where they pinch.One who has personally experienced poverty, need and suffering, knows how difficult life can be.)  Afua ni mbili, kufa na kupona.  Deliverance(from ill luck or disaster) is of two kinds, to die or to get better(live).  Afugaye ng’ombe tume, mwenye maziwa la kujaza. He who keeps a healthy cow will have plenty of milk.(If you are diligent, you will enjoy the fruit of your labour.) Ahadi ni deni. A promise is a debt.(A promise is binding. A trustworthy person keeps his word.)  Aibu ya maiti, aijua mwosha. The real shame of the dead is only known by the Moritician. (No man is a hero to his wife.You get to know the weak aspects

Sehemu ya pili itakuwa ni kiini cha swali ambapo tutajikita kuzielezea nadharia mbalimbali zinazozungumzia asili ya fasihi simulizi/masimulizi kwa mujibu wa Okpewho (1992), Miruka (1994/1999) na Finnegan (1970). Na sehemu  ya mwisho ni hitimisho.   Tukianza na fasili ya Nadharia, Massamba (2009:63) anasema, nadharia ni taratibu kanuni na misingi ambayo imejengwa katika muundo wa kimawazo kwa madhumuni ya kutumiwa kama kielelezo cha kuelezea jambo. Sarantakos (1997: 9) amefasili nadharia kama jambo linalofanywa na kuthibitishwa kwa utaratibu maalum kwa njia ya utafiti kwa ajili ya kuelezea jambo fulani katika jamii. Martin E. Amini (2005:10) anasema nadharia ni jumla ya mambo yote ambayo mtafiti amekusudia kuelezea, kuchambua, kuelewa au hata kutabiri jambo f
