    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was not going round but thank you for the opportunity to welcome the group of students from Maasai Mara University. Narok County is a sister to Kajiado County and when Sen. Olekina is not here, I think I can ably stand in his shoes to welcome the students from Maasai Mara University. Mr. Speaker, Sir, besides that, Sen. M. Kajwang’ mentioned that we may not need more political scientists in this country and that this House does not necessarily need educated people. I did not want to allow that to go unchallenged. I happen to be a student of Political Science from the University of Nairobi, both first and Master’s degree. I know how important it is to have political scientists in this country. I did not want the group of students who are doing political science to go while feeling like their course has been demeaned. There are political scientists in this House. You will be able leaders of this country tomorrow. To inform Sen. M. Kajwang’, it is actually in Political Science that policy formulation is taught. You said we need policy formulators, and it is political scientists who do that. So, they are doing the right course. We will get the policy makers of this country. It is in political science that you are taught how to allocate scarce resources and where you get to know who gets what, when and how. All other fields rotate around the field of Political Science. I would say it is one of the most important courses to undertake in any university. So, I wish to tell these students that they are doing the right course and that they should continue. Tomorrow, you will be the people determining who gets what in this country."
