    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, I was saying that the Chairman of the Committee on Education is here, thus to prepare the ECD syllabus of our children in the counties, these renowned people in the counties must be identified so that our children know their value and contributions. People like Prof. Bethwel Allan Ogot, the most serious renowned historian is here. Moi University, Maseno University, the University of Nairobi and Makerere University are what they are because of people like Prof. Musangi, Prof. Munavu and Prof. Kiptoon and many others. Do our children in Kenya know about them? We have renowned professors in South Africa and Europe of Kenyan origin and others who may not be professors but they are known and they bring a lot of contribution to this world. As we discuss this Motion in the Senate, the Committee that deals with it should make sure that whatever has been discussed here is followed up. The Committee of the people that are dealing with Mashujaa should identify and be able to recognize people appropriately. We know that professor Mazrui died on 13th October, 2014, and then on 20th, October, 2014, we had Mashujaa Day, and I know the people of Mombasa County and Kenya also talked about him. Suppose he was still alive, would he have been among the people who were going to be mentioned on 20th October? We rarely recognize people when they are still alive. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
