Kenyan MP thinks the biggest problem in the world is...

Exactly what you were thinking- farts on planes.

“There is one irritant that is often ignored and this is the level of farting within the aircraft. There are passengers, who literary irritate fellow passengers by passing bad smell and uncomfortable fart.

“If there is anyone given irritant that makes people fight on board, it is the fart, it is terrible within the plane,” Dr Gogo said.

If this is not managed well, she said, it can cause insecurity on board.

I have never seen a story like this by an MP of a Parliament from anywhere in the world..


“If there is anyone given irritant that makes people fight on board, it is the fart, it is terrible within the plane,” Dr Gogo said.
