A fart caused proceedings in the Kenyan government to come to an abrupt haunt when a politician farted during a debate in a Kenyan regional assembly meeting.
A member was accused of having “polluted the air” during the gathering, according to local reports.
The alleged culprit denied doing so and said he could “not do such a thing” in front of colleagues.
The Speaker allowed a ten minute break in the meeting for the smell to clear from the Homa Town County Bay Assembly.
He also reportedly ordered for air fresheners to be brought in and told those gathered: “We cannot continue sitting in an environment that smells that bad.”
Reports said it was a hot afternoon and people had been fanning themselves with sheets of paper.
Once the stench had dissipated the meeting continued and went on without further interruption.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.
“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
