A majority of leaders from Baringo County did not attend the rollout of the Mama Kitchen Garden Program, an initiate of the First Lady Rachael Ruto.

The national rollout took place at Koibatek Agricultural Centre (ATC) in Eldama Ravine and was attended by government officials from various ministries.

Local leaders, however, stayed away from it.

Among the leaders who accompanied the First Lady were Woman MP Florence Jematia (Baringo), Beatrice Kemei (Kericho), Beatrice Elachi (Dagoretti North), Baringo Deputy Governor Felix Kipng'ok, and spouses of Governors from various counties.
