Joshua Sang has threaten to Take Legal Action against a Social Media User for linking him with the 2007/08 PEV.
Sang, took offence at the Kenyan's assertion that he helped fuel the 2007 post-election violence, which happened when Sang was a radio presenter attached to Kass FM International.
The X User Nyamisa Chelagat, claimed that Sang used his platform to radicalise and incite his listeners.
In response to the Allegations, Sang has stated he is innocent, following the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision. As a lesson, he has vowed to file defamatory Charges against the X user.
" For others to learn a lesson of wrongly accusing people, this one must meet me in court in January so that she can present the evidence she alleges I participated in the 2007/8 PEV," Sang stated.
President William Ruto (then the Eldoret North MP), Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta (Gatundu South MP), Henry Kosgey (Tinderet MP) Francis Muthaura (Head of Public Service & Secretary to Cabinet) Major Gen Hussein Ali (Commissioner of Police) and Radio man Joshua Arap Sang were the first Kenyans to be indicted by ICC.
The trial of William Samoei Ruto and Joshua Arap Sang opened on 10 September 2013.
Mr Ruto and Mr Sang were accused of crimes against humanity (murder, deportation or forcible transfer of population and persecution) allegedly committed in the context of the 2007-2008 post-election violence in Kenya.
Over the course of 157 trial days, the Trial Chamber heard the testimony of 30 witnesses for the Prosecution, including two expert witnesses.
During that time, the Chamber admitted into evidence 335 exhibits for the Prosecution, 226 exhibits for the Ruto Defence, and 82 exhibits for the Sang Defence.
The Prosecution closed its case on 10 September 2015. At the close of the Prosecution's case, the evidentiary record contained 92 photographs, 27 maps, 77 items of audio/visual material, and over 8,000 pages worth of documentary evidence.
Throughout the trial proceedings, the Trial Chamber rendered over 400 written and oral decisions.
At the close of the Prosecution case, the Chamber admitted into evidence the prior recorded testimony of five Prosecution witnesses for the truth of their content. However, on 12 February 2016, the ICC Appeals Chamber held the statements to be inadmissible.
On 5 April 2016, Trial Chamber V(A) of the International Criminal Court ("ICC" or "Court") decided, by majority that the case against William Samoei Ruto and Joshua Arap Sang was to be terminated.
The Chamber considered the requests of Mr Ruto and Mr Sang that the Chamber find that there is 'no case to answer', dismiss the charges against both accused and enter a judgment of acquittal.
The majority of the Chamber, having concluded that the Prosecution did not present sufficient evidence on which a reasonable Trial Chamber could convict the accused, also concluded that a judgment of acquittal was not the right outcome, but only vacation of the charges and discharge of the accused.
