Former Kenya Wildlife Service boss Richard Leakey has hit back at Tourism and Wildlife Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala for lying to MPs that he had refused to renew his contract.

Dr Leakey told MPs yesterday that it was untrue that CS Balala refused to renew his contract, explaining that President Uhuru Kenyatta had offered to extend his contract by three years.
