The present President of Kenya is Uhuru Kenyatta, son of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and his last wife Ngina (Mama Ngina), who now lives the life of a wealthy widow, thanks to fortunate investments. At the time I hunted Kenya in the 70's, she was reputed to have a hand in every illegal enterprise in the country, including the ivory trade, and the ban, first on elephant hunting and then on hunting in general, was widely believed to be for the purpose of promoting the illegal ivory trade. Destroying a collection of tusks such as the one pictured can only have the effect of driving up the price of ivory, ultimately benefiting the illegal trade.
