Elephants ‘die in hands of white-collar KWS wardens’

A security consultant and a former top KWS officer have cited inadequate staffing, inept leadership, indiscipline, poor attitude and low morale among rangers as the main reasons why poachers have been running rings around the organisation’s anti-poaching unit.

The two, who spoke exclusively to The Nairobian on condition of anonymity, also dismissed claims that poachers are better armed than rangers as “nonsense.”
