13 kilograms of Ivory has been recovered in Karen Nairobi after three men were arrested.
The three identified as Moses Leshinga, 24, Frankline Lekashina, 26, and Raymond Wambui, 32 were arrested while ferrying the tusks valued at Ksh 15million.
Their arrest comes days after a chines woman also known as Ivory queen was sentenced to 15years in jail by the Tanzanian Authorities for ivory trafficking.
Kenya has been head over heels in fighting Ivory trafficking warning that the trade risks wiping out elephants.
During the 17th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, Kenya unsuccessfully sought to have a global ban on trade imposed even after 29 African Elephant Coalition countries gave support.
However, Namibia and Zimbabwe petitioned CITES to exempt their elephants from the ivory trade ban, on grounds that their populations are thriving.

The two argued that proceeds from legal stocks of ivory would generate income to improve conservation and anti-poaching efforts.

THESE PEOPLE ARE DESTROYING THE ELEPHANTS IN AFRICA! THE ANIMAL, THE AFRICAN TREASURE WILL BE EXTINCT DUE TO STUPIDITY OF AFRICAN RULING ELITES!
i WONDER HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO PROTECT THE ELEPHANTS, RHINOS AND GIRAFFES BY TRAINED PATRIOTIC AFRICANS FLYING HELICOPTERS OR OTHER SMALL PLANES TO PROTECT THESE ANIMALS!!
CHINA EXECUTES DRUG TRAFFICKER INTO CHINA! AFRICA CONSIDER EXECUTING AFRICANS AND CHINESE ARE CAUGHT WITH IVORY OR RHINOS HORNS BECAUSE THESE LARGE ANIMALS ARE BEING WASTED!!
THE AFRICAN WHO ARE CAUGHT TRAFFICKING DRUGS INTO FOREIGN COUNTRIES ARE VERY POOR AFRICANS WHO ARE USED AS MULES OR DONKEYS BY ELITE DRUG TRAFFICKERS WHO MAY BE CHINESE, EUROPEANS, LOCAL AFRICAN MAFIA COLLABORATING WITH THESE FOREIGNERS, FOR EXAMPLE, THE AKASHA BROTHERS! THEY ARE PREYING OF THESE PEOPLE’S STUPIDITY, IGNORANCE AND POVERTY AND THEY DO NOT CARE WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM!
THE DRUG DONKEYS SERVE VERY LONG JAIL TIMES IN FOREIGN LANDS, THEY ARE KILLED OR EXECUTED!!
IN OTHER WORDS, THESE PEOPLE ARE RUTHLESSLY SACRIFICED BECAUSE OF THEIR POVERTY BY THE REAL POWERFUL CRIMINALS HIDING BEHIND THE SCENE !!
ILLICIT DRUGS ARE GROWN IN THE HINDU KUSH MOUNTAINS OF AFGHANISTAN, MYANMAR (FORMER BURMA) NEAR CHINA AND COLOMBIA IN SOUTH AMERICA, THESE THREE COUNTRIES VERY FAR FROM THE AFRICAN CONTINENT! THE BLACK AFRICAN SHOULD BE THE LEAST PEOPLE NETTED AS DRUG TRAFFICKERS, LEAVE ALONE KILLED FOR THE CRIME!
WHO ARE USING POOR AFRICANS AS DONKEYS TO CARRY DRUGS THAT ARE NEITHER GROWN OR MANUFACTURED IN AFRICAN? ELITE WORLD’S INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES ARE KNOWN TO BE INVOLVED IN ILLICIT DRUG TRAFFICKING!
WORLDWIDE, THE CRIME OF DRUG TRAFFICKING IS ASSOCIATED WITH AFRICAN FACES; AND THE LOW IQ AFRICAN ELITES ARE DEAF SILENT AS THEIR CITIZENS ARE SACRIFICED WITH LONG JAIL TIMES OR DEATH SENTENCES!!
