She then sat on the ground muttering words in her vernacular as the person recording the video laughed in the background.
"Take as many photos as you want, do what you want, I do not care," she shouted.
A few voices in the background could be heard telling her to be careful, warning that she would fall and hurt her baby.
The baby, dressed in a blue beanie and romper, appeared to be kept warm against the cold night.
The woman eventually managed to get up and stagger away from the area, where loud music and voices could be heard in the background.
Netizens express concern over drunk woman with baby
Netizens asked those who filmed the clip to find the woman and alert authorities emphasising that both the mother and baby needed help, support and not just criticism.
Divinar Swahili Teacher:
“Some children are just born unlucky. Hopefully, the people who took the video followed up to rescue the baby. I really feel sad for the innocent young child. Lakini wanawake hawafai kulewa, sasa ona. Hata kama ni biashara, mbona uuzie mtu ako na mtoto surely hadi alewe hivi? That money will never help you. I have asked the lady who posted this to try to get the contact details of this mama. The baby needs to be rescued ASAP.”
Winnie Juma:
“Nothing hurts like a child having to be rescued from his or her own mother.”
Risper Ong’ayi:
“When a mother has an alcohol addiction, is dead, has a chronic illness, or suffers from mental illness, the most vulnerable are the children. May God help me, as a mother, to be sober, alive, healthy, and of sound mind for the sake of my children. Please God, hear my prayer.”
Eunice Wamuyu Menja:
“Is that her child, though? They both need rescue. We can take the child to our Upendo Kids Village.”
Dinah Dinah:
“Despite the odds, the baby is with her and kept warm. Imagine amfungie kwa nyumba.”
Morfine Siango:
“Huyu mama hata anapenda mtoto wake, ona vile baby amefunikwa vizuri. The mother also needs help. Some children’s homes are just a name.”
