A video has emerged online showing former Budalang’i MP Ababu Namwamba drunk and speaking loose.
Ababu who in the video is seen drinking with his brother Dr Tom Namwamba and a group of ladies donned in pink T-shirts is heard boasting he “drinks the best brewed beer in the world.”
One of the ladies is seen hugging the former MP tightly before holding his hands for about 20 seconds. It’s not yet clear when and where the video was shot, but the occasion was during Ababu’s birthday party as people in attendance are heard singing happy birthday songs.
“I have the world’s best brewed, best branded beer, Heineken,” the former ODM secretary general says while carrying a boy who is about five years old while sipping beer.
The video leaked less than a week after another one leaked on Facebook showing Opposition leader Raila Odinga wearing a Father Christmas hat and making merry at a private party while drunk.
In the one-minute-and-six-seconds amateur video shot at businessman Billy Okwiri's home in Sinaga, Gem constituency on Christmas Eve, Raila is seen with a bottle of wine on his table as he assures those in attendance of “NASA's (National Super Alliance) journey to Canaan”.
But whereas some Kenyans saw nothing wrong with the MP drinking and partying, other said maybe he was stressed after losing his parliamentary seat to incumbent Raphael Wanjala.
Here is the video
