    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I rise to support the amendment that the Western University of Science and Technology be named after the late hon. Masinde Muliro. Masinde Muliro is the name of an individual who is no longer with us here and that name lives with us. I believe that we can immortalise the bearer of that name who was amongst the first, eight Africans to be elected as Members of the Legislative Council (LEGCO). I happened to know the late hon. Masinde Muliro as a great nationalist; he was not a tribalist. That name must be immortalised because he loved education and his tribe. We, should, therefore, allow the Western University of Science and Technology to be named after him. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, Moi University was named after the former President, hon. Moi. I am sure that so many things were named after the former President of this country. We have the Moi International Sports Centre in Kasarani and so on. So, there is no reason why the name \"Muliro\" should not be everywhere. It is high time we became nationalistic. We need to immortalise all our heroes. They include great personalities like the hon. Otiende, the late hon. Moses Mudavadi and the late hon. Musa Amalemba. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, with those remarks, I beg to support the second amendment."
