    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was not blaming Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry for the fact that the Maasais are beneficiaries of the scholarships. Of course, more of them should benefit, especially because they are under-privileged and we intend to support affirmative action. However, when people who have been awarded scholarships do not take them up, replacements are identified from the original list. This happens a lot with the scholarships to China and Russia. If the gentlemen did not take the scholarships up, I am sure other persons were identified from the same list on the order of priority and were awarded those scholarships. Sometimes we lose scholarships when people who have been awarded do not take them up. The criteria is very clear. We have a selection committee that includes representatives of various departments in the Ministry. We have representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassies of the friendly countries that are awarding the scholarships. This committee sits, goes through the applicants and scholarships are then awarded on the basis of merits. This committee is widely representative."
