The love for the bottle landed a sitting MP in jail just hours after he had been released for yet another crime.
On October 30, 2018, Lugari MP Ayub Savula was re-arrested by police for drunk driving in the evening of the day he had been set free over allegations of stealing KShs122 Billion at the Government Advertising Agency (GAA).
In a video that made rounds online, the embattled MP could be seen staggering and labeling insults at Karen OCS who had arrested.
The intoxicated legislator threatened that he had called the Attorney General to attend to him.
“I will call the Inspector General (Joseph Boinnet). You are supposed to be a police service. Stop being stupid. I will not leave this place until 6am in the morning.
"You are paid by taxpayers. If you can do this to me, what else can you do to ordinary Kenyans? You can post this on the internet, I don’t care,” he stated at the time.
The drunk MP further slurred vowing to protect the "common Mwananchi (citizen)."
The arrest came roughly a week after he, together with his two wives, had been taken into police custody over allegations of being involved in the GAA graft.
The three were accused of obtaining the money through false pretences.
On October 30, Savula was subsequently arraigned in court where he denied the charges and was freed in a KShs1 Million cash bail or Kshs2 Million bond before heading to a drinking spree.
He had also been accused of attempting to obtain KShs119 Million from the State Department of ICT.
