Kenya Wildlife Society officers arrived at the site following residents' distress calls. Residents of Gimba village in Voi, Taita Taveta county, this morning found an elephant lying down weak and died a few minutes later. Kenya Wildlife Society officers arrived at the site following residents' distress calls. Another such incident was reported a year ago when three elephants were found dead with their tusks still intact. The residents together with KWS officers could only stand beside the helpless elephant before it died. However, the residents lamented massive destruction caused by the elephants in their farms. As Christmas and New Year celebrations are near, the residents pleaded with KWS officers to allow them to enjoy the meat.
