“Joshua arap Sang you have been charged
in count four with murder constituting a
crime against humanity under Article Seven
1(a) and Article 25 3(d) of the Rome. How
do you plead guilty or not guilty?” posed
Judge Eboe-Osuji.
“Not guilty,” responded Sang
Joshua while working for kass.
How life changes…from a radio presenter who
hosted morning shows on a Kalenjin-language
radio station Kass FM, to a ICC suspect who is
being accused of planning attacks on the
airwaves.
Talk about a career taking a different direction!
As he was defending himself last week at the ICC,
the EX radio presenter told the judges he is the
shortest journalist in Kenya and went ahead to
narrate how he climbed the ladder to do what he
loved most which is broadcasting.
Just like many journalists and aspiring
journalists, most of them harbor dreams of one
day working for news giants like CNN, AL Jazeera
and BBC. Joshua Arap Sang is no different.
His only dream when he was growing up and
didn’t know the direction, the turns and twists his
life would take, was to work for none other than,
wait for it…….BBC!
Sang in deep thoughts.
Here is an excerpt of an opinion piece from
Kenya Today
“Sang made statements which could be picked by
the prosecution to nail him. Lawyers now allege
that by saying he is a patron of church choir and
churches, Sang aided the prosecution’s claim that
he was influential at the time.
The shortest journalist in Kenya also lied to the
court in other small ways but which could prove
detrimental to him. He claimed to be the shortest
journalist in Kenya yet there is no known
competition to that effect.
Many legal scholars are convinced the venerable
Katwa Kigen, who made his name and money
defending Ruto as he pilfered the country from
one scandal to another, may have known all
these, but decided to let the ‘short man’ have his
day in court.
One question for you this afternoon, how did a
radio presenter become an ICC suspect? Does
it come with the career?
