POSSIBLE KCSE EXCERPT 1
Read the following extract from the play “The Samaritan”by John Lara and then answer
the questions after. (25 marks)
Seymour: (Springing to his feet with clenched fists) That cannot be possible. Nobody can
write that kind of thing about me in this world!
Harvester: (Looking at Ted and Seymour) Copies of indisputable documentary evidence
to that effect were all over today’s newspapers and are being shared in all
media platforms.
Seymour: (Resuming his seat and swearing with trembling voice) Those are fake documents!
These are all barefaced falsehoods! And I can assure you one thing: Those behind
the allegations now have their appointment with fate! Certainly!
Ted : (Sitting properly and looking up for the first time) Supply of air? I am beginning
to think this is serious.Could we end up in Baneta Express Prison?
Harvester:(Turning pages of his note book)But that is only one of the allegations ,there are
many more ,including drug trafficking,grabbing of public land,inflation of the cost
of municipal projects, use of proxies to secure municipal tenders, undertaking
shoddy public works, murder and gang warfare. The information is very detailed on
the people and companies involved .
Mossi: There is a lot of personal information on municipal leaders on that evil
thing , too; including lifestyles of individual municipal officials,where they
live, the kind of houses they live in, their businesses, the vehicles they own,
other properties in their possession, when the properties were acquired, and
a lot of other personal details I don’t want to mention here. (Looking at Bembe)
There was a lot of talk yesterday on the Madingo Golf Club, with everyone
Wondering where you got the money to put it up.
Bembe: (Sitting up with an expression of horror on his face) The Madingo Golf Club? No!
I have always been very discreet about my private affairs! How did they get the
Information it is mine?
Mossi: You see, there is hardly anything on earth you can do without somebody knowing
About it. You should also remember that those we regard as our friends are

Sometimes wolves in sheep’s clothing. And they may have a lot of information
About us,which could be damaging!
Bembe: This might be our worst nightmare!
Mossi: What worries me most is the recent formation of a lobby group,an amorphous
virtual group, comprising mostly of lawyers,calling itself The Samaritan. It is calling
upon the people to volunteer as witnesses and help in the prosecution of those
involved in corruption and abuse of office in the Municipality.They are also
planning to petition the Local Government Minister ,the Prime Minister,and the
Chief Justice to take action.The situation is not pretty at all.
Ted: (Looking at Justice Jaden)Can such online allegations form a strong basis for
prosecution and conviction?
Jaden: (Adjusting his eyeglasses) Yes, they can;provided there are valid documents
supporting the allegations.
Bembe: (Throwing his hands in the air) I think we have no choice other than ban that
thing within Maracas Municipality! The Municipal Council needs to pass a by-law
to that effect urgently. I will enforce it immediately!
Jaden: (Adjusting his eyeglasses and then his tie) I think we need to be careful and strategic.
On what basis do you ban it? And how can you police the use of mobile phones to
ensure the ban is effective?
Seymour: We can think creatively about that.For example, we can claim that municipal
authorities are concerned that suspect Apps,particularly spy Apps, are finding
their way into our municipality. This may lead to theft of confidential
information such as bank account details.We can also cite issues of cyberbullying
and the sharing of pornographic materials in schools
