There are moments in Kenyan politics that leave you staring at your phone screen, replaying the video just to make sure your eyes aren't playing tricks on you.
A clip now making the rounds on social media has done exactly that, showing Busia Governor Paul Otuoma in a confrontation that has quickly turned into one of the most talked about incidents to come out of a public gathering in recent memory.
The footage captures the governor kicking a man during what was supposed to be a routine public event, and the reaction online has been nothing short of explosive.
You can feel the tension even through the screen, the kind of raw, unfiltered moment that makes you wonder what led to such a physical exchange between a sitting governor and a member of the public.
The video, shared by KTN Home just five hours ago, has already amassed significant attention, with the comment section filling up faster than anyone could have predicted.
People are divided, some defending the governor, others calling for answers, but everyone seems to agree on one thing: this is not something you see every day.
The incident raises serious questions about the conduct of elected leaders and how they handle themselves when emotions run high.
We have all seen politicians lose their temper before, but physical confrontation crosses a line that many feel should never be crossed, regardless of the circumstances.
As the video continues to circulate, the pressure is mounting on Governor Otuoma to address what happened and explain his actions. For now, the public is left to watch and wonder, the image of that kick seared into the memory of everyone who has seen it.
