The visibly drunk legislator jumped over the fence and made his way to the place where dignitaries sat.

He staggered and could not express himself clearly.

Angry residents shouted at him, demanding that he should be removed from the event.

Molo Deputy Commissioner David Wanyonyi was forced to whisk away the drunk MP from the meeting.

As the MP was being removed from the meeting, a section of the youths who had attended the meeting cheered him on, a sign that the work of dealing with the consumption of illicit brews would not be easy.

Molo has long suffered from the problem of the consumption of illicit brews, leading to efforts by local authorities to combat it.

The irony of the incident of the MP showing up while drunk was not lost on the residents, explaining why they angrily called for Mr Kuria to be taken out of the meeting.

Kuria is a first time MP and was elected in the 2017 general elections.

The MP has curved himself a reputation for being a thoughtful and articulate leader.
