The co-chair of the National Assembly joint committee that investigated seized sugar stocks has defended the discredited report tabled Wednesday in Parliament.

In a long tirade, Kieni MP Kanini Kega who chairs the Committee on Agriculture fought back against criticism that the committee had doctored the report to favour some of the sugar barons who had a hand in the illegal imports.
