{{ICC trial against deputy President William Ruto and former radio broadcaster Joshua Sang enters day two on Wednesday with Sang’s legal team defending their client on crimes against humanity charges.}}
Sang is accused of using his former position at KASS FM to broadcast false news that some Kalenjin people had been killed in order to fan the already volatile situation.
He was also accused of using his show ‘Lenee Emet’ to mobilise young men and urge them to attack perceived enemies of the Kalenjin people for political gain.
In his defence through lawyer Katwa Kigen, Sang faulted Prosecutor’s investigation pointing out that the source of prosecution material against him is perplexing and the case has kept mutating.
“None of the people accused have been approached by the prosecution to tell them their side of the story,” he said. “The prosecution did not want to meet Sang as it would not be consistent with what they wanted,” he added.
In his defence Sang through his lawyer Kigen also alleged that former ICC Prosecutor Moreno Ocampo while in Kenya met political brokers and desperate Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) looking for donors.
“In return, some people decided to register as witnesses for material gains because funds were channeled to NGOs.”
