Two men have been sentenced to five years in prison each after they were found guilty of illegally possessing four elephant tusks valued at Ksh.2.49 million.

Moriati Ole Kimore and Lepapa Saruni were handed the jail term by Senior Principal Magistrate Hon. Njeri Thuku of the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) Law Courts.

According to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), the duo was arrested on August 28, 2024, in the Ntarara area of Kajiado South Sub-County, Kajiado County.

“The two were intercepted while transporting the ivory on a motorcycle and arrested by a Serious Crimes Unit working under a multi-agency task force comprising various national security agencies,” said ODPP.
