Anti-poaching unit in limbo
The environment ministry's anti-poaching unit has been in limbo for four years, awaiting budget allocations for appointments. Ministry spokesperson Romeo Muyunda confirmed yesterday there have been no new recruitments to the unit since retired police commissioner Ndahangwapo Kashihakumwa was officially appointed as its head on 1 August last year. At that stage Kashihakumwa and seven other members were appointed to the vital unit. Muyunda said due financial constraints the ministry has been unable to recruit anyone else to the unit, which will eventually consist of nearly 500 members.
