On November 10, 2019, a trader was arrested at Burma Market in Nairobi after being found selling bush meat in a crackdown conducted by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).

The trader was caught grinding the meat when he was apprehended and taken to Langata Police Station for arraignment.

Earlier in September, five people were arrested in the Shauri Moyo area of Nairobi with 150 kilograms of donkey meat on their way to Burma market.

They were tipped off by a resident who spotted donkey hooves when the suspects were off-loading the meat from a vehicle.

The suspects were later arraigned at City Hall court and released on Sh150,000 cash bail.
