Via the DCI. Wildlife Trophies Worth Over 5M Recovered
Wildlife trophies worth over Sh5 million were this afternoon recovered in Taita Taveta county and one suspect identified as Bakari Barisa, arrested. In an intelligence led operation conducted by a joint team of Serious Crimes detectives and their counterparts from the elite Crime Research & Intelligence Bureau, the 40-year-old man was seized in Taveta township trading in pangolin scales worth Sh5 million and elephant tusks with a street value of Sh400,000. Posing as well oiled unscrupulous business men who rule the underworld, the sleuths led the man to his waterloo before pouncing on him. Pangolin scales which fetch a fortune in the black market are used for spiritual protection and financial rituals, making the mammal one of the most sought after and trafficked in the world. The suspect has since been whisked to our headquarters where he is being grilled before arraignment.

Trade in ivory and other wildlife trophies was LEGAL in kenya since when mzungu landed upto 1974. Mr Zimmerman, previous owner of current zimmerman estate was largest processor of wildlife trophies, and the former processing plant still stands today hapo Canopy area of the estate.

That said I believe mzungu is very selfish. When he was in charge of our wildlife in colonial times he promoted hunting and trade in wildlife trophies and made billions. When blacks took over and he mzungu lost control of the wildlife resources he went to Western capitals to lobby and ban wildlife trade and started promoting conservation of which he was still the central axis. So mwafrika lost his wildlife to mzungu during colonial times and today its mzungu who benefits by putting hotels and camps in parks and so called conservancies.
