The ‘apology’ gained worldwide fame as it offered a twist many did not expect.

“I would like to apologise and I would like to say that, Mr Speaker, on that particular day, I did not slap (Charles) Njagua, it is his cheeks that moved towards my hands,” Embakassi East MP Babu Owino told the Kenyan parliament.

The clip has since gone viral since the incident took place last year.
