The governor said such actions could put lives of Kenyans at risk.

“I am going to work closely with officials of the Kenya Dairy Board to ensure that unscrupulous milk peddlers are gotten rid of,” he said on Sunday.

 He added, “I will never entertain such business to thrive in the area. Formalin is used to preserve dead bodies and it is so sad that some people are fond of adding the chemical to fresh milk and making money out of such illicit trade.”
