Sang raises Sh500,000 to help pay for his trip to The Hague

By Vincent Bartoo

A fundraiser in aid of Kass FM presenter Joshua arap Sang in Eldoret raised Sh500,000, with another Sh1 million from his employer. During the fundraising, leaders took cue from Eldoret North MP William Ruto, rejecting help from ODM to assist the Ocampo Six. They also announced that some of them were making arrangements from the grassroots to accompany the Ocampo Six to The Hague. They included Eldoret Mayor William Rono, Wareng County Council Chairman Paul Kiprop, former Eldoret South MP Jesse Maisz and Rivatex Managing Director David Tuigong. Speaker after speaker lashed out at ODM, blaming the party for the woes bedeviling Ruto, Sang and Tinderet MP Henry Kosgey.
Another fundraising meeting is scheduled for this evening at the Nairobi Railways club.
Sang put up a paid advertisement in the daily newspapers titled, ‘In Support of Arap Sang’, where he appealed for financial support.
"Following the ICC case, and subsequent sermons requiring me to travel to The Hague, the cost to meet my travel and legal expenses is beyond my capability," it read in part.
