Nominated MP David Ole Sankok has given details about his childhood and schooling days, as a person living with disability.
This comes several weeks after Deputy President William Ruto revealed how he was forced to walk barefooted for years due to his father's inability to buy him shoes.
Sankok has also revealed that he was forced to crawl to school, which left him nursing bruises and thorn injuries.
The vocal MP said that until he joined university, he still could not manage to acquire crutches at a cost of Sh175, forcing him to improvise and make one himself using scrap metal.
"In my case it was different. I needed crutches for mobility more than shoes. My life in the village without crutches was hell on earth. I could crawl and be bruised by thorns and stones," he wrote on Facebook, Friday.
"I could make crutches from broken beds and scrap metals during my days in primary school, highschool and later in the University of Nairobi because I couldn't afford a new one at Sh175," he added.
Sankok said that just like the DP, he too could not have shoes, due to poverty, but that was not his main concern at the time, as he needed crutches more.
The MP is also a close ally of the DP and is in office courtesy of the Jubilee Party.
