    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to convey my sincere condolences on my own behalf and that of the people of Busia County to the family of the late President (Dr.) John Pombe Joseph Magufuli and the people of Tanzania. I may be the only one or one of the two others who can boast of being alumni of the university where the late President went, University of Dar es Salaam. You cannot appreciate properly Tanzania’s and the late President Magufuli’s contribution unless you know where Africa has come from. That is where the black man has come from; slave trade. Madam Deputy Speaker, after slavery, the black man was told that we shall not take you away from your country. We shall leave you in your country under colonialism. Then from colonialism, the black man was told that he can govern himself but he shall not be in control of his economy. In other words, Africans and the other black people we have suffered economic exploitation for hundreds of years. That is where I believe Tanzania and particularly President (Dr.) John Pombe Joseph Magufuli made a sterling contribution. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
