Report reveals atrocities against public

What you need to know:

Two months after Operation Tokomeza was suspended, a parliamentary select committee formed to probe the allegations tabled its report in parliament yesterday--and the story it tells is scary.

It also appears that some ministers were not involved effectively in the campaign. According to Mr Lembeli, the permanent secretary in the ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism gave orders without involving Mr Khamis Kagasheki, the minister. TPDF was also giving orders and controlling operations and did not involve other members of the team. Mr Lembeli also accused police officers and staff from Tanapa, TFS and NCAA of taking bribes and protecting poachers and some rich people during the operation. Some politicians and rich pastoralists also reportedly sabotaged the operation. And wananchi were tortured and humiliated before their children and in-laws. “Some wananchi showed us how they were tortured,” he added. “They showed scars on their bodies...we even have photographic evidence and written testimonies.”
