“Hon. Kamoti will be remembered for his non-confrontational leadership style which saw him earn admiration from many people beyond his constituency and also enabled him to achieve a lot for the people of Rabai Constituency.
“Indeed as a county, we have lost a devoted and hardworking leader,” Kingi stated.
Ganze MP Teddy Mwambire noted that Kamoti was in constant communication with the ODM team as he presented his documents.
“The death has hit us hard. Kamoti was one of the most aggressive ODM leaders in Kilifi and it is a huge loss,” he noted.
