Fare thee well Professor Mazrui. Thoungh I was a child during your hey days, I trusted your struggle for the second liberation. It is unfortunate that today you are gone forever, but you left with your beautiful writtings that the corrupt in the politica arena and rent seekers in the public sector would never dare read.
I know you are the true son of the soil. Yes the African continent. You're gifted and that is why oppressive regimes feared you. You went and stayed in excile for the love of your nation and country men. People today percieves you as a hero because of the values you stood for. Indeed we miss you.
Professor go and if you will meet these great men of Africa Nyerere and Mandela tell them things have gone wrong. If they ask you why tell them corruptions bleeds in East Africa. Remind Nyerere of IPTl/ESCROW. Do not forget about Angloleasing in your country.
Make sure that you remind Mwalimu about the new breed of leadership. Tell him in your country they are using the police force to intimidate journalists and the citizens. Again tell him majority of the professors no longer engage themselves in book projects, instead they have become part of the oppressive regimes.
Finally, pass our regards to Professor Chachage and Dr. Sengondo Mvungi. Tell them Professors Baregu and Shivji are still struggling had but they are almost over powered. We still remember that what they fought for is not in vain.
Go till we meet again. Professor may the almighty God rests your soul in eternal peace.
