Fart in public occasions could bring unnecessary trouble. At a Kenyan regional assembly recently, the post-lunch session was interrupted when a terrible bad smell spread in the house.
According to Nairobi Wire, a member of the County Assembly (MCA) Juma Awuor was on the floor discussing the lack of shades in markets when he was interrupted by the presiding speaker Edwin Kakach. “Kakach’s attention had reportedly been drawn to a group of male MCAs who were pointing fingers at each other over the suffocating fart,” the report said.
“Honourable Speaker, one of us has polluted the air and I know who it is,” MCA Julius Gaya told the speaker. But the
member he accused of farting, he denied the accusation and replied: “I am not the one. I cannot do such a thing in front of my colleagues.”
While those attending the debate may be used to hearing calls of “Order!,” the session became much more odor focused as members accused one another of being behind the foul stench.
Hoping to ‘clear the air’, the Speaker announced a ten-minute break in the proceeding at the Homa Town County Bay Assembly and urged members to step outside the chamber.
“We cannot continue sitting in an environment that smells bad,” BBC Africa quote the Speaker. Reportedly he also summoned staff to get room-freshers to get rid of the nasty smell. “Get whatever flavour you will find in any office, whether it’s vanilla or strawberry,” the report added.
In a separate incident Kenyan parliament member Zuleika Hassan was ordered to leave the chamber by Speaker Christoph
er Omulele after bringing her baby with her to work. Watch the full video below:
Hassan was told she must “get out of the house immediately” and was forced to leave.
Hassan later explained that, because of an emergency, she had no option but to bring her daughter to work and e
xplained that she had no choice, considering that parliament does not have a nursery to help provide care.
