Kenya Railways' recent notice banning food and alcohol on its 5-hour SGR journey sparked a heated debate on social media. However, a new video has taken the conversation to a different level.

Footage has emerged showing passengers engaging in lewd behavior, including twerking and giving lap dances, in one of the train's cabins. The incident has sparked outrage among Kenyans, with many expressing concern about the impact on other passengers, particularly children.

As one Twitter user pointed out, 'it's not wrong to portray or explore your sexuality, however, it's prudent to exercise sobriety in certain circumstances.' Others have criticized the passengers for lacking manners and disrespecting other train users.

One user wondered if the passengers would take their 'drama' to a club or their homes instead of causing a scene on public transportation. Another user joked that the passengers' behavior was not what they meant by 'food from outside.'

Check out the video below to see the incident for yourself.
