        I hope this story does not get lost in the noise. Kenyan authorities must catch and make an example of the perpetrators.

        The lead illegal ivory traders in Kenya are the Kenyatta family so investigators should begin from there

        The british government seems to be supporting the illegitimate Kenyan president yet her mother is the chief suspect. Good luck with the investigations if at all there will be any.

        The suspect behind this is well know but the Kenyan govt won't investigate this matter.Its will sweep it under the carpet just as all other high profile cases before.
