    "content": "that he is one of those Muslims who did not believe in radicalization. He believed in having a peaceful country and I hope as Kenyans, we will continue with that. He came from a big family that we can learn a lot from since most of them are also scholars. He has left us a tree that will continue flourishing. It is up to us to water this tree. It is the responsibility of Mombasa County to ensure that they benefit from the tree that he has left behind. The tree of education is the key which can transform anything. That is the only tree that we believe in and that is why education is our paramount agenda as we move on and as we transform our country. Ladies will remember him for the books he wrote on women empowerment. He believed that women are the better gender in family and when you educate one, you have educated many others. When you read his books he believed that every child has a special way of doing things. You cannot change what is not there, but you can change a child to become better when you start thinking positively and when your mind set is positive. Madam Temporary Speaker, he also taught us that the imagination in our minds is what will set us free. Therefore, if you imagine negatively, you will remain negative. But if you imagine positive things or higher, then you will find yourself at a different level in terms of development. While we know the challenges Mombasa has faced, I hope the county government will move fast and see how they can assist our people at the grassroots level. We should empower them by using the resources that we have. In some of Prof. Mazrui’s books, he did not believe that money is everything. He believed that every person can offer their services to society. There are those people who commit their time on certain tasks which is a better service than even the money and that is why he lived a simple life. I hope those of us who have been left behind can learn to live simple lives that will transform many people. We should live humble lives. I think that is what most of us believe in. As we move on, I hope that we will always remember and celebrate him in different learning institutions that we have in the years to come. I beg to support."
