This made me genuinely laugh out loud.

A farting politician shut down a session of parliament in Kenya as members blamed each other for the offending smell.

The row broke out in the Homa Bay county assembly on Wednesday after one lawmaker accused a colleague of ‘polluting the air’.

The MP in question denied the claims and insisted that ‘I cannot do such a thing in front of my colleagues’, according to Kenyan media.

The speaker hurriedly ordered air fresheners to be brought to the chamber to tackle the problem.
