Four members of the Parliament’s Agricultural Committee have said they will on Tuesday lay bare a ‘dossier on bribery’ believed to have influenced their colleagues to alter the findings of a report on the sugar sector.

MPs Fredrick Outa (Nyando) and Benjamin Washiali (Mumias East) have separately told The Standard on Saturday that millions of shillings were paid to members to ensure an earlier draft was altered.
