Our universities need more stem researchers. A Kenyan engineer who is not properly rooted in the Kenyan social milieu will not be in a position to provide solutions to Kenyan problems.

Full disclosure, I am a political economist who believes strongly in the usefulness of the social sciences and humanities.
