Former powerful Kanu secretary general and political veteran Joseph Kamotho has died, his son has confirmed.
Reports say Kamotho died at a South African hospital after battling with kidney failure and high blood pressure for a long time.
The former Kanu strong man has been in and out of hospital a number of times. In 2013 he had planned to run for the Murang'a senate seat but lost Kembi Gitura and was admitted at Nairobi hospital.
Kamotho was in a semi-coma state for one month after collapsing in Muranga during a public rally.
A family source then said Kamotho's health deteriorated after he lost in his bid for Murang’a county Senate seat.
“I can confirm to you that Mzee is sick and he is currently in a Nairobi hospital where he has been admitted for the last one month,” said the source then.
Kamotho has been in and out of hospital for the last few years.
He was a strong supporter of former President Daniel Arap Moi.
