- Ubinafsishaji wa mashirika ya umma ni nguzo kuu katika ulimwengu wa leo.(Solved)
Soma kifungu kisha uiibu maswali
Ubinafsishaji wa mashirika ya umma ni nguzo kuu katika ulimwengu wa leo. Kimsingi, ubinafsishaji ni hatua na harakati zinazochukuliwa kupunguza kushiriki kwa serikali katika uendeshaji wa mashirika na kuhimiza kupanuka kwa sekla ya kibinafsi.Serikali huweza kuhimiza, kutokana na uuzaji, uhawilishaji wa mali kutoka umiliki wa umma hadi kwenye umilikaji wa sekta ya kibinafsi. Aidha, serikali inaweza kuuza hisa zake kwenye mashirika ya umma. Njia nyingine ni kuchochea ugavi wa zabuni kupitia kwa mikataba ambayo inashindaniwa na mashirika au kampuni tofauti. Lengo kuu la ubinafsishaji ni kuigatuanafasi ya serikali katika utendakazi na uendeshaji wa mashirika.Uuzaji wamashirika ya kiserikali au hisa huwa chanzo cha mapato yanayoweza kutumiwa kuendesha miradi mingine, Hii ni njia ya kupunguza harija ya serikali inayotokana na uendeshaji wa mashirika yasiyoleta faida. Ubinafsishaji huzuia uwezekano wa kuingiliwa kwa mashirika na wanasiasa, huimarisha utamaduni mpya wa muundo wa mashirika na huvunja uhodhi wa kiserikali. Ubinafsishaji huweza kuatika mbegu za ujasiriamali wa raia kutamani kuanzisha amali tofauti.
Ubinafsishaji huweza kuyaruhusu mashirika ya kimataifa kutwaa mashirika muhimu nchini, kufutwa kazi kwa wafanyikazi na kuongezeka kwa umaskini. Ubinafsishaji wa sekta zinazohusiana na elimu na afya huweza kuathiri vibaya wenye mapato ya chini.
Ubinafsishaji haumaanishi ufanisi wa utendakazi wa makampuni na mashirika. Aidha, ikiwa haupo utaratibu mzuri wa kutathmini au kupima thamani za hisa pana uwezekano wa hisa zinazouzwa kupewa thamani ya juu au ya chini.

- Matumizi ya sheng' yameshamiri sana nchini Kenya hasa miongoni mwa vijana.(Solved)
Soma taarifa inayofuata kisha uyajibu maswali
Matumizi ya sheng' yameshamiri sana nchini Kenya hata miongoni mwa vijana. Ni kilugha ambacho kinakisiwa kuzuka katika miaka ya 60 na 70 katika makazi ya mashariki mwa jiji la Nairobi kama vile Kaloleni, Mbotela/ Bahati na kadhalika.Kwa sasa ni kilugha kilichoenea kwingi nchini Kenya na kuwa kitambulisho cha takriban vijana wengi. Wataalam mbalimbali wanabainisha nadharia mbalimbali kuhusu chanzo cha lugha hii. Kuna nadharia mbili kuu kuhusu asili ya lugha ya Sheng: kwamba kilugha hiki kiliibuka kutokana na wahuni na wakora jijini Nairobi ambao lengo lao Iilikuwa kuwasiliana kwa siri. Nadharia nyingine ni kuwa kilichipuka kutokana na vijana ambao walizua lugha ya kuwasiliana baada ya uhuru (kwa sababu walikichukia Kiswahili ambacho walikiona kama lugha ya uboi)
Dhana hizi kwa muda mrefu, zimeathiri mitazamo kuhusiana na kilugha hiki. Kwa sasa ni kilugha ambacho ,yjiasambaa katika sehemu mbalimbali za Kenya na watu wa matabaka mbalimbali wanakitumia. Kilugha hiki kimeanza kuashiria uhalisia mkubwa wa maisha ya kisasa, zaidi katika jamii ya Wakenya. Aidha, sheng imejitanzua kutoka hali ya kuwa kilugha cha maongezi pekee na sasa kinatumiwa katika baadhi ya vitabu, hata waandishi wa vitabu wameanza kukitumia. Kwa mfano, katika miaka ya 80, David Mailu katika kitabu chake 'Without Kiinua Mgongo' alitumia Sheng. Katika siku za hivi karibuni, riwaya ya 'Kidagaa Kimemwozea' iliyoandikwa na Ken Walibora kilugha cha sheng kimepewa nafasi kama kitambulisho cha vijana kupitia kwa mhusika DJ Bob.
Vilevile kumezuka vyombo vya habari kama redio, mfano idhaa ya Ghetto, redio ambayo inaendeleza mawasiliano kwa matumizi ya Sheng. Kuna vipindi vya matangazo ya kibiashara katika runinga ambayo yanaendelezwa kwa Sheng. Kwa mfano, katika 'gazeti la Taifa Leo, kuna ukumbi wa 'Mchongoano' ambao umekuwa ukiendelezwa kwa Sheng.
Nchini Kenya ambapo asilimia 60% ya idadi ni vijana, Sheng imetokea kuwatambulisha vijana. Katika enzi hii ya Teknohama. wanaomiliki vyombo vya habari na sekta nyingine za biashara wamegundua kuwa matumizi ya Sheng ndiyo njia mwafaka zaidi ya kulifikia soko kubwa la vijana kwa ajili ya kueneza matangazo ya bidhaa na huduma za kibiashara. Kwa hivyo, Sheng imekuwa daraja la kuwafikia na kuwavutia vijana.
Hata hivyo, kwa upande mwingine matumizi ya Sheng yamelaumiwa na walimu wengi katika shule za msingi na zile za upili kuwa ni sababu mojawapo kuu ya kushuka kwa matokeo ya lugha ya Kiswahili na Kiingereza miongoni mwa wanafunzi. Sheng imelaumiwa kwamba inasababisha wanafunzi kutozingatia mafunzo ya kanuni za sarufi na tahajia au maendelezo. Wataalam wanadai kuwa ni msimbo ambao hauzingatii sheria za sarufi na tahajia kwa sababu zisizofahamika, kwani ingawa muundo wake wa kisarufi hushahabiana na ule wa Kiswahili, Sheng hupuuza sarufi ya Kiswahili katika matumizi yake.
Ingawa sheng imekuwa ikipigwa vita, kuna wataalam ambao wana mtazamo kwamba juhudi hizo haziwezi kufanikiwa kwani Sheng ni chombo cha mawasiliano miongoni mwa vijana na kwa hivyo ina umuhimu wake ambao hauwezi kufumbiwa macho. Wanasema kuwa ni chombo ambacho kinafumbata hisia na mshikamano wa kizazi kipya kama ilivyojitokeza katika kauli mbiu ya mgombeaji urais mwaka wa 2012,'Tunawesmake.
Katika hali ambapo kiwango cha ubora wa matokeo ya Kiswahili yalidorora katika mtihani wa kidato cha nne (KCSE) mwaka wa 2012 na kuwa asilimia 35.81 pekee yakilinganishwa na asilimia 48.82 ya mwaka 2011, Sheng imekuwa ikilaumiwa kuwa ndicho chanzo cha kudorora kwa viwango vya ubora wa matokeo. Baadhi ya hao wataalamu wanasema kwamba Sheng haipaswi kuhujumiwa. kinachohitajika kufanywa ni kuwaelimisha vijana kuhusu mipaka ya matumizi yake.
