Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya has never been one to shy away from showing his personality online, and his latest TikTok is no different.
On November 13, the outspoken lawmaker posted a selfie-style video of himself munching on kumbe kumbe, the winged termites that Kenyans look forward to every rainy season, while seated in a moving car.
In the casual clip, Salasya addresses the camera directly with a second passenger visible in the back seat.
Speaking in a mix of Swahili and English, he enthusiastically introduces the snack to viewers, calling it the ultimate treat.

At one point, he jokes that eating kumbe kumbe doubles as a stomach "detoxation," urging whoever was watching to take the cleanse seriously.

Kumbe kumbe are winged termites that swarm during the rainy season in many parts of Kenya and are considered a beloved traditional snack, particularly in western Kenya where Salasya hails from.
They are typically pan-fried or roasted and are rich in protein, making them a nutritious, if unconventional, roadside treat for many Kenyans.
