A\nheated debate about market stalls was disrupted by a foul smell and furious\nfinger-pointing at a Kenyan regional assembly on Wednesday, local reports say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Honourable\nSpeaker, one of us has polluted the air and I know who it is,” Julius Gaya\nreportedly told Homa Bay county assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But\nthe member he accused of farting is said to have replied:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I\nam not the one. I cannot do such a thing in front of my colleagues.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoping\nto clear the air, the assembly’s Speaker Edwin Kakach then instructed members\nto step outside and take a break from the chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reports\nalso say he asked officials to bring in air fresheners “to make it\npleasant. Get whatever flavour you will find in any office, whether it’s\nvanilla or strawberry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We\ncannot continue sitting in an environment that smells bad.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet\nthe smell is said to have subsided before any such sprays were found, allowing\nthe debate to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
