[Photo/Courtesy]Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala also suspended six officials after investigations indicated that poor protocol and an inept management structure had played a role in the deaths of 10 rhinos during translocation. Charles Musyoki has been appointed the acting director general, Patrick Omondi is the acting director of the biodiversity division, and Julius Kimani is the new director of parks and reserves. Those suspended include the deputy director for biodiversity, research and monitoring, Samuel Kisiki, and the Tsavo East senior warden, Felix Mwangangi. Postmortems on the rhinos corroborated expert findings that the rhinos were starved and dehydrated, and that their stomachs had too much saline water.
