Hapicha said those involved in the illegal trade were targeting ready markets in Nairobi, Gilgil and Nakuru. Hapicha called on members of the public to liaise with KWS officers whenever wild animals strayed to their farms or homes. Illegal game meat which is unfit for human consumption is finding its way to Nairobi from Naivasha, Kenya Wildlife Service has said. “As a result those involved in the illegal trade have easy access to the wild animals leading to a sharp rise in wild-meat trade,” she said. She said over 70 percent of wild animals around Naivasha and Gilgil were living away from protected areas.
