    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to Move:- THAT, recognizing the role played by Prof. Ali Mazrui in the pre and post-independence history of Africa; noting that Prof. Mazrui, who was born in Mombasa rose to be one of the most respected scholars and political writers who laboured to improve the African situation as a distinguished academic and scholar on African and Islamic studies, in the process indelibly putting Kenya on the global scholarly map; recognizing that due to his exemplary credentials and attributes, he was honoured with numerous national and international leadership positions and awards; regretting that Prof. Mazrui passed away on 13th October, 2014, in the United States of America; the Senate joins the family, friends, the Kenyan people and the international community in eulogizing and paying tribute to the academic icon, nationalist and Pan-Africanist who has left a remarkable and lasting legacy in the world. Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I thank you for allowing me to move this Motion. I will squeeze my comments in the 15 minutes allocated. The late Prof. Ali Mazrui passed on, on the 13th of October this year. The news came as a shocker to everybody; it was run as breaking news given the stature of the person that we are talking about. 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."
