    "content": "a distinguished scholar who abandoned scholarship to go and fight in the Biafra War and how he agonized in Mazrui’s mind what he was doing, whether it was right or wrong, at his trial. It takes a genius to produce that kind of imagination from a real situation. As I finish, I stand here to send my personal condolences and thank the people of Mombasa County for giving Kenya the privilege to own Mazrui who was born among them. This is a man who was born in tremendous privilege and wealth, but lived an ordinary life because of pursuit of scholarship, human dignity, human equality, true and meaningful democracy, respect and equality of religions and ideals of Africa. He stood and said that the rape of Africa has gone on for too long and it has to come to an end. Africa’s rape will not end by the benevolence of the rapists. It will end by the resolution to fight, resist and protect our integrity, our resources and our image as a people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is the man we are eulogizing, the great son of this country. I invite my distinguished colleague from Tharaka-Nithi County, The Senate Majority Leader (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, to second this Motion. Thank you."
