A seasoned journalist, Joshua Arap Sang, has left Mediamax Network-owned Emoo FM. On Friday, Mr Sang released a statement announcing his departure from the radio station.

"It's time to depart. To all my supporters, coworkers, and superiors. My last day as a radio broadcaster is today. 

Mr Sang stated that he will miss collaborating with every person he has ever met.

He noted that the 24-year odyssey had started at Sayare FM in 1999, continued at Biblia Husema in 2003, Kass FM in 2005, and ultimately ended at Mediamax's Emoo FM.


Nevertheless, the radio reporter omitted to describe his subsequent action.

After the 2007 General Election, Mr Sang gained notoriety when Luis Moreno Ocampo, a former prosecutor for the International Criminal Court, listed Sang as one of six Kenyans suspected of orchestrating the post-election violence that resulted in 1,133 fatalities in 2007 and 2008.

Together with Mr Sang, Mr Uhuru Kenyatta and Mr William Ruto, who would ultimately win the president in the 2013 General Election, were the other suspects on the list. Francis Muthaura, a former head of the civil service, Hussein Ali, a former police commissioner, and Henry Kosgey, a former Tinderet MP, were also on the list.


The six would all appear before the ICC in The Hague, Netherlands; however, they have all since been acquitted. Following the failure of their separate cases, Mr Kenyatta held the office of president of the Republic of Kenya for two terms before ceding control to President Ruto last year.

Mr Sang continued working at the station in the interim. He started working for Mediamax in 2019, and a month later, he was allowed to become the station's deputy head of radio.

He ran for election to the East African Legislative Assembly in November last year. Mr Sang was one of 24 other Kenya Kwanza nominees seeking a place in the regional assembly, but he was not ultimately chosen.
