    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have said here previously, we are doing the best we can to contain this problem. Our rangers all over the country, particularly in protected areas, are taking stern measures to monitor. Our intelligence units are up in arms to make sure that they gather as much information as possible. In the airports of Mombasa and Nairobi, we have put in a team with sniffer dogs that has helped to arrest about 1,600 pieces of ivory over the last two years. Only a few days ago, we were notified that a huge haul of ivory was also found at JKIA. This is now in our custody and our investigating teams are still looking to verify who may have been behind these exports. In the port of Mombasa, we did not have a Kenya Wildlife Service team checking every single cargo that is being exported outside the country. We have been relying much more on Kenya Ports Authority and Customs Department to do so, on our behalf. However, we are now looking at ways of putting in a team to be stationed there permanently. You also have to realize that Kenya stands as a transit point where even illegal ivory, not only coming from within our game animals, but passing through. For instance, although we are looking at DNA regarding the JKIA ivory, we suspect that this may have come from outside our country. This investigation will continue and we hope that we will be able to nail those who may have been behind the exportation of this precious item."
