I am saddened by the sad news of the passing away of Comrade Kazi Moto. I will personally miss him alot. I will always remember his good voice, characteristic style of presenting on radio, his friendliness, good grasp of the local politics and his role during the time I was a parliamentary candidate for Ibanda South in 2011. I found him very balanced, objective and accommodative to divergent political views. I will personally miss him alot. May His Soul RIP!
