Former radio presenter Joshua arap Sang has broken ranks with two suspects with whom he faces criminal charges at the International Criminal Court and endorsed CORD’s presidential candidate Raila Odinga ahead of elections next Monday.
Sang has dismissed the coalition between William Ruto and Uhuru Kenyatta as incapable of bringing peace between two dominant communities in the Rift Valley who have fought during elections since 1992.
In a recorded message to air on radio, Sang says only a president who is not from the two tribes will be able to bring peace between the two communities, concluding that he believes that President should be Raila.
He has also dismissed as lies, the perception created that Raila could have sent him to The Hague, saying senior government officials who were in office before the coalition, not Raila, coached witnesses to testify against him and Ruto in the case at the ICC.
We are away in a foreign land with my brother because of allegations made against us. The truth must be told. In my opinion, the people who masterminded and planned to have me and my brother taken to The Hague did not include Raila Odinga,â Sang says.
In the statement which Sang says he recorded because of âheavy feelings in my heart,â the journalist traces what he terms âbroken MOUâs of the last two elections in Kenya, including the 2008 power sharing deal.
Mr Sang, who faces charges at the ICC alongside Uhuru who is Jubilee Presidential candidate and his deputy Ruto, appeals to the Kalenjin community not to trust the power sharing deal in the coalition, saying such agreements have twice been disowned after elections.
He cites the MOU signed between Raila and Kibaki in 2002 and the 2007 power sharing deal that brought the Grand Coalition Government into force as instances of broken promises that should make residents of the Rift Valley wary of the deal between Ruto and Uhuru.
âToday, some of our people want us to enter into an MOU again through Jubilee. They never respected the MOU signed in 2002 and the power sharing deal agreed on in 2007. Why should we expect that the one our community has signed in Jubilee will be respected,â Sang says in a recorded message set to air on radio.
According to Sang, the agreements have not been honoured and he doubts the one between Ruto and Uhuru will fare any better.
Sang says that although President Kibaki and Raila were supposed to share power on a 50-50 basis, it never really happened and only one side of the coalition ran the country.
Serious!
Speak my brother speak do not be cowed, that's the truth of the matter.
he is another victim..maybe promised that his case will be withdrawn…tunawajua.
Any sane should not elect ohuru. Ohuru renage on all MOUs, both foreign and international. He will renage on the constitution and its review to favour him to remain president for life in Kenya as long as he stands accused at the icc. He will disobey his commitment to attend courts at the hague and remain at large like president of Sudan he will gang up with some african dictators in the region to safe his skin from the icc knife he not care what conditions will kenyans face, not even for the kikuyus who want to go grave ohuru coz he is one of them. Kenyans search for some common sense although common sense is not common.
Point of correction
Any sane kenyan should not elect ohuru. Ohuru will renage on all MOUs, both national and international. He will renage on the constitution and he will order its review to favour him to remain president for life in Kenya as long as he stands accused at the icc. He will disobey his commitment to attend courts at the hague and remain at large like president of Sudan Omar Hassen El Basir, he will gang up with some african dictators in the regions to safe his skin from the icc knife he will not care about the conditions kenyans will face, not even for the kikuyus who want to go to grave becoz ohuru is one of them. Kenyans search for some common sense although common sense is not that common.
I wish you a peaceful election but choice has consequences

Thank you my brother finally you have seen the light God is in control it will come to an end pray hard until something happen in the ICC.God bless.
Sang is right.
Arap Sang finally speaks the truth!
Gospel truth
I guess anyone can endorse a presidential candidate and make news now
Truth be said my brother.
Truth bro
Kwani sang amenunuliwa na how much.
This the year of remission of sins and universal pardon, just speak out your.
Truth be told, They broke the first in 2002 MOU, They broke another one for power sharing deal1 in 2007, to an extent where when Raila ordered the Victims of fire in Garisa to be compensated, the Minister for special programme said, she does not take road side orders, meaning they could not even respect the Office of the Prime Minister, whats makes us to trust them this time around, this time they need not to be trusted.
