A census official turned up at a resident’s house in Mukuyu, Muran’ga, intoxicated and ended up urinating in the family’s living room on the night of Thursday, August 29.
As the children and family members watched, the man pulled down his pair of trousers and started urinating.
The official, who has since been arrested, was allegedly staggering and acted in a disorderly manner when he entered the house.
