Misplaced Priorities??

If you're a Kenyan citizen, and a keen one for that matter, you must be aware that there is a proposed forensic lab to be put up at the KWS headquarters. Let me break it down for those that are not familiar with what am trying to put across. The lab is to serve for purposes of research of wild animals and especially so our elephants. It's a noble cause and one that we should all be proud of considering the skyrocketing levels of poaching and illegal killings in our country. To put this into perspective, our elephants are disappearing at a rate of 300 per annum. Mind you the rate is increasing with every passing year. If the statistics from KWS are anything to go by, the number of elephants killed last year alone was 377. This then begs the question of what should be done to curb this. Is the government putting her priorities right?
Why do we need to put up a forensic lab when we don't even have enough rangers to take on the poachers? I believe it's futile to do with more that which can be done with fewer. Why not employ more rangers and arm the current rangers to be able to deal with such cases? Am thinking it would be a brilliant idea to employ fast hand technology in curbing poaching. Installing CCTV cameras across our vast national parks, reserves and conservancies would serve the purpose. Or better still up our gears and go the Ol Pejeta way- using drones to monitor our wildlife and for gathering intelligence. KWS, the ball is now in your court
