The words were spoken by a man protesting arrest by police and officials of the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) during a crackdown on drink-driving in December 2016.
The video clip, captured by NTV two years ago, went viral on social media and has kept Kenyans laughing to date.
Alex Sadi, now 52 years old, says he is not an alcoholic and that authorities should treat those they arrest respectfully.
He is happy that President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered NTSA officials off the roads in 2018.
“When you catch me like a rat on the highway…” is a phrase that has become familiar to many in the country.
