Delamere case in Kenyan court VIII

Family
Across the estate Robert Njoya's widow now has four children to bring up alone. She knew he was going out hunting that evening.

Meat is a powerful commodity here - it buys favours and opens doors. It is illegal to kill game but people turn a blind eye to those who hunt to feed their families. Poaching for profit however is not allowed.

Fresh traps are found on the Delamere's land every day.

Njoya's brother Joel works in a restaurant beside the estate. Today goat and lamb are on the menu.

Njoya's funeral was very well attended. His death had provoked anger in the community. Politicians saw there was capital to be made. Four cabinet ministers turned up.
