When you hear that we have 665,747 refugees in this country, particularly in Dadaab where my friend comes from, it is very worrying. The 665,000 refugees are almost an entire county like Narok.

I believe many employees, particularly those who are employed at Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), are involved in those deals. Corruption is killing our heritage and unless the President, the Deputy President and the Government---"
