WHEN SLATS WERE DEPLOYED AT 250 KTS, THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED TO THE RIGHT AND THERE WAS NO BLUE SLAT EXTEND LIGHT. CREW CYCLED THE SLATS BACK UP NORMALLY, RE-DEPLOYED AND THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED AGAIN. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE BLUE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THERE WAS LESS TENDENCY TO ROLL. LANDING AT MCI WAS UNEVENTFUL. MAINTENANCE FOUND THE LEFT T-DUCT SLOW. REPLACED THE LEFT -T- DUCT. AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
