The National Assembly Majority Leader will be required to defend himself against claims he lobbied MPs to reject the report on bad sugar to rescue the President's men who were mentioned adversely.

Naivasha MP Jayne Kihara named Aden Duale as having told MPs the report should be rejected because it had implicated President Uhuru Kenyatta's allies, apparently referring to Cabinet secretaries Henry Rotich and Adan Mohamed.
