Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa has pledged to introduce a free milk programme for learners across Bungoma County if elected governor in the 2027 General Election.

Speaking at Chebukaka Market in Kabuchai Constituency on Thursday, the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) lawmaker said learners from Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) to Grade 9 would receive milk twice a week under his administration.

Barasa said the programme is aimed at improving nutrition, boosting school attendance and enhancing concentration among learners, particularly those from vulnerable families.
