By DENNIS LUBANGAMore by this AuthorThree people have been arrested in Eldoret with 30 kilograms of ivory valued at Sh3 million. Detectives from the Kenya Police and their Kenya Wildlife Service counterparts apprehended the suspects following a tip. "But from the look of things, they had been buried awaiting transportation,” Mr Mutunga told journalists at the police station. “Such business is a big blow to the tourism sector and the national economy at large,” said Mr Mutunga. In 2014, Eldoret police seized a consignment of ivory weighing 152 kilograms, with an estimated market value of Sh15 million.
