Wamatangi","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":646,"legal_name":"Paul Kimani Wamatangi","slug":"paul-kimani-wamatangi"},"content":"Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have a lot of respect for the Senator for Bungoma County. I was in concurrence with all the things that he was saying. However, he knows that I am not a blind man. At least, my record is clear that I did not come here as a disabled person representing the disabled and neither have I shown any signs that I could be losing my sight since I came here. Is he in order to describe my conduct or the Motions that I have tabled as those that point to a blind man’s action by saying that I blindly defend the Government? My record is clear. I am not only objective, but also principled. I speak facts and what is there. I have never been a bootlicker. So, if blindness in his view constitutes what I do, with due respect, the Senator for Bungoma may be twice as blind."}
