In our latest YouTube video, we delve into the fascinating life and enduring legacy of Joseph Kamotho, one of Kenya's most influential.

John Joseph Kamotho was a Kenyan politician who served the country in various ministerial capacities. Kamotho, who also served as MP for Kangema and Mathioya constituencies, held different cabinet positions including Natural Resources and Environment, Trade and Education. For many years, Kenyans associated Kamotho with riches owing to his numerous contributions during different functions, especially harambees.

Many of the fundraisers he was involved in were those that were in support of churches and educational facilities. To keep his philanthropy on course, Kamotho established a children's home, Upendo Children's Centre. Together with his family, they mobilized friends, and organized bicycle races and charity walks to raise funds to support the destitute in society.

The former president considered him as his point man in the Central region which was largely pro-opposition.

However, his rigid views on politics and government, as well as his strong defence of the government saw opposition leaders often attack him, and the government. Interestingly, he was known to answer most questions with the statement "KANU will not in any way accept it". He was also known to be a wordsmith with a fondness for snappy phrases shaped by the Kremlin Parlance of the Soviet Union.

Having lived in both the West and East eras which divided the globe into socialist and capitalist blocks, Kamotho was well exposed to the manipulation of Machiavellianism and propaganda in public communication. He was survived by his wife and five children. Subscribe to our newsletter and stay updated on the latest developments and special offers!
