• Sang moved to Emoo FM in 2019.

• He worked with Kass FM before being named as an ICC suspect.

Former ICC suspect and Emoo FM Journalist Joshua Arap Sang has quit radio after 24 years of service.

Sang announced his retirement from radio on Friday, March 24. He has been hosting a breakfast show at Mediamax Network Limited's Emoo FM since 2019.

"To all my fans, colleagues, and bosses. Today is my last day working as a radio broadcaster.

"It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to you. I cannot thank you enough for the lessons you’ve taught me and the friendship you’ve so freely given."

"I will miss working with you and engaging with you. It has been 24 years journey that began in Sayare 1999, through Biblia Husema in 2003, Kass FM in 2005 and now ending at Emoo FM/Mediamax," he wrote on his Facebook page.

Sang ran a hugely successful show dubbed Lenee Emet (what is going on in the nation) at Kass FM.

This particular show led him to be charged with crimes against humanity at the ICC.

Charges against Sang were confirmed in January 2012 and the trial opened in September 2013.

Due to the many trips to the Hague, the journalist decided to quit Kass FM.

Sang was acquitted in September 2016 due to lack of sufficient evidence.

“I am just delighted that I have the freedom I have been longing for the last six or seven years,” he said then.

However, Sang was equally sad and frustrated that the case went on for six years.

“I listened to all the 30 witnesses as they lied in court, I tried asking for permission to attend my daughter’s graduation but I was denied. My daughter is still upset to date,” Sang narrated in 2016.

Keeping a low profile and after being out for seven years, he made a comeback and joined Emoo FM in 2019.

The Kalenjin-based vernacular station is owned by Media Max limited.
