    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate Prof. Mugo; I also want to congratulate Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o for taking this very important step of making a Statement of recognition of Prof. Mugo for her work. Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’- Nyong’o himself strikes me as an amazing person who is a combination of a politician and a scholar. Going forward, we should, as a country, have a proper roll of honor for our scholars because one of the biggest problems in this country is that there is too much emphasis on being elected to be a politician than being smart in whichever area you are; whether in scholarship, art or in any other talent. As a country, it should be a great shame for us to watch our very own being recognized elsewhere in the world and yet we have not even recognized them back home. I think it is important for this House to think through a process of creating a roll of honor for scholars. In America, they have all kinds of things; they have rolls of honor for people 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."
