    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker and thank you for granting me this opportunity to pay my tribute to this great Kenyan, Prof. Ali Mazrui. I did not get an opportunity to meet Prof Ali Mazrui, but I have read about him. I have read about his writings in the academic journal and, indeed, he was a great teacher. He was a great scholar. He was a great researcher and more importantly, listening to what people have to say, he was very charismatic. Hon. Speaker, it is fortunate he passed on when the Heroes Act has been operationalised. It is important for this country to recognise the great Kenyans who have done so much as far as the improvement of the academic welfare of this country is concerned. Professor Ali Mazrui, as we have heard, was Chancellor of the Jomo Kenyatta University. He spearheaded the formation and establishment of the Mombasa Technical University. It is my humble request in line with the Heroes Act that if it adds value, the Technical University of Mombasa be converted to become Professor Ali Mazrui University. It is, indeed, important that we recognize our heroes. We have just celebrated"
