MAN POSSESSING ELEPHANT TUSK JAILED FOR FIVE YEARS

A Laikipia man was on Thursday sentenced to five years in prison for being in possession of an elephant tusk worth Sh400,000. The convict, Hillary Biwot Lagat, 26, was found guilty of being in possession of the game trophy in 2018. The court did not give him an option of fine. During his trial, the court heard that he was found with the tusk on October 19, 2010 on the Sipili-Kinamba without a permit.
