Members of Parliament have faulted President William Ruto's decision to allocate muguka business Sh50 million. The leaders also said they have no faith in Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi leading talks on muguka business over conflict of interest.

The MPs threatened to use violent means to stop the stimulant from entering their counties, including burning lorries ferrying the crop.
