The Kenya Forest Service (KFS) law enforcement officers have impounded a lorry transporting illegally sourced forest produce disguised as locally made sweeping brooms from Turkana County, a trickery that has lately become common in the region to deceive and evade arrest.
The lorry, registration number KCD 076V was nabbed along the Kitale-Eldoret Highway with 77 bags of charcoal that were completely concealed by Doum palm brooms. Another lorry, Registration No. KCL 166W was seized along the Iten-Eldoret Road while transporting 200 red cedar, and 100 rosewood timber. Through the sting operation, four suspects involved in the vice are in custody aiding with further investigations.
