Kisumu East MP Shakeel Shabir has issued a public apology after facing backlash over a viral video in which he was seen harshly reprimanding a teacher during an official event.

The apology follows mounting pressure from Kenyans and education stakeholders, including teachers' unions, who condemned the MP's conduct as demeaning and uncalled for.

The incident took place at St.

Peter's Kindu Secondary School in Kisumu, where the legislator was captured verbally attacking a teaching staff.
