Here Is A Profile Of Journalist Joshua Sang’s Lawyer: Joseph Katwa Kigen

From the get go, I have to say that I have been rather interested in Joshua Sang’s case. The I.C.C has gone on record as saying that he along with his co-accused William Samoei Ruto who is the deputy president of the Republic of Kenya are behind the worst of the Post election Violence!

Apart from that, another interesting fact is that Sang is the only defendant to retain Kenyan citizens as his primary legal team. And i found myself wondering who this is that Joshua sang has placed so much trust in… Given that the courts were willing to provide him with a legal team if he couldn’t retain one.

And the man he selected is:
