Let's take the threat to our elephants seriously and deal with poachers

Wednesday, August 13 was the World Elephant Day. Not many Kenyans were aware, nor did they care. Perhaps the majority are so busy with their daily problems to remember that Kenyan elephants are disappearing everyday. It is rather remote to them as a problem worth worrying about.

But at least two Kenyans remembered this day was important. One was Director of the Kenya Wildlife Service, Mr William Kiprono, and the other was Inspector General of Police, Mr David Kimaiyo. William and David: thank you very much—but you disappointed Kenyans in the manner in which you observed this great day.
