What was meant to be a night trip for over 50 passengers aboard a Tameed bus from Mombasa to Nairobi turned into chaos and was cut short after bedbugs descended on the passengers.
The bus was forced to find an alternative after the passengers demanded they be returned to Mombasa.
In a viral video clip, numerous bedbugs are seen crawling from the blue deep sponge-upholstered seats as the passengers complain and demand that the bus stop.
Bedbugs have been a menace in Kenyan society, breaking protocol to attack even the affluent in society, raising the question of the hygiene standards of Kenyans.
From public transport to homes, offices, hotels and schools, the pests have caused havoc that most people feel ashamed to speak about or call for public help.
