President Uhuru Kenyatta has sent his message of condolences to the family, relatives and friends of former Cabinet Minister John Joseph Kamotho, who died on Friday in South Africa. The President said he is deeply saddened by the death of a man he described as a “selfless political legend”. He described him as an amiable and extremely pleasant person.
For more than five decades, said the President, Kamotho gave exemplary service to the people of Kenya both as a civil servant and a politician. He was a true believer in our national values, and his energy, commitment and loyalty were beyond doubt. His rich legacy will live on.
