Video Sparks Debate as Didmus Barasa Hands Out Cash to Bungoma Residents Following Sifuna Rally
A viral video showing Kimilili Member of Parliament Didmus Barasa distributing large sums of money to residents in Bungoma County has ignited intense political debate across social media platforms.
The footage, captured shortly after a high-profile political rally led by Nairobi Senator and ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna, shows a large crowd surrounding the MP’s vehicle waiting for cash hand-outs.
In the clip, Barasa is seen holding stacks of banknotes and issuing firm instructions to the milling crowd to maintain order. He can be heard telling the gathered residents to stop moving aimlessly and instead form a single queue as they wait for their turn to receive the money.

The incident comes amidst growing political rivalry in the Western Kenya region, following Sifuna’s tour where he publicly criticized “transactional politics” and cautioned voters against receiving financial inducements from elected leaders.
The circulating video has drawn sharp reactions from political observers and citizens alike. Critics argue that relying on cash hand-outs undermines genuine public engagement, questioning whether the lawmaker’s grassroots support is organic or reliant on monetary patronage.
Conversely, supporters defend the gesture as a customary act of generosity toward his constituents.
As the video continues to gain traction, the spectacle underscores the persistent role of cash handouts in Kenyan political mobilization.
