The row between the Government and the Opposition over a reported sugar pact with Uganda turned nasty after CORD leaders advised their supporters to boycott milk and dairy products of firms that could apparently benefit from an export deal.

CORD MPs claimed the sugar import deal with Uganda will sabotage the local industry in exchange for Kenya’s dairy and beef exports.
