    "content": "The two accused persons, namely, Daudi Epenyo and Epua Losur were charged with hunting and killing protected animals, contrary to Section 12(1)(b), as read together with Section 56(1)(a) of the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act, Cap.376, Laws of Kenya. The accused persons pleaded guilty to the first count. They were convicted and sentenced to eight years imprisonment. They were all informed of their right to appeal against the sentence. The case on the second count is set for hearing on 27th September, 2011. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the evidence that was submitted in court was statements from key prosecution witnesses, who included KWS arresting officers and two regular police offices; the recovered tusks from the carcass were exhibited; a photograph of the dead elephant and an intelligence report from the KWS intelligence units were provided; four eyewitnesses from the members of the public who saw and heard the first accused person pleading with the second accused person and the deceased to join him in a business, which was not known to them. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
