Wamatangi","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":646,"legal_name":"Paul Kimani Wamatangi","slug":"paul-kimani-wamatangi"},"content":"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to also take this opportunity to congratulate the newly elected Deputy Speaker of the Senate, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki. If you may recall, I am one of those who wanted to contest for the office of the Senate Deputy Speaker. However, I withdrew my candidature with others. However, I want to assure Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki that he has my full support as the elected Deputy Speaker. Being an African elder, he knows that if you go to a mzee’s house and get his girl and marry her, then you have to go back to the mzee with a goat. The gate is still open for the Professor to bring the goat."}
