A city council meeting in a western province of Kenya was abruptly stopped Wednesday when officials refused to continue after accusing one another of passing gas, reports say.
Homa Bay County assemblyman Julius Gaya interrupted a debate on market stalls after someone reportedly passed a foul smell - so foul members refused to stay in the room and be fumigated by the flatulence.

"Honourable Speaker, one of us has polluted the air and I know who it is," Gaya reportedly said according to the BBC. But the officials that Gaya accused of the act denied the claims, arguing that “I cannot do such a thing in front of my colleagues.”
Speaker Edwin Kakach reportedly called a break and asked officials to bring in air fresheners “to make it pleasant.”
"We cannot continue sitting in an environment that smells bad,” he said according to the report.
