John Joseph Kamotho (J. J. Kamotho) was a Kenyan politician. He held many Cabinet portfolios including Education, Trade, and Environment and Natural Resources. Kamotho was a former member of parliament for Mathioya Constituency and Kangema Constituency.

[1] He was the fifth secretary general of the KANU party.

In the 2013 General Elections Kamotho ran for the Muranga Senatorial seat but lost to Kembi Gitura. He was shortly thereafter admitted to Nairobi Hospital.

Kamotho's family later flew him to South Africa where he underwent intensive treatment. However ill health overcame him and he was pronounced dead on the 6th of December 2014.

JJ, as he was fondly known, will be remembered for his fiery brand of politics during the 1990s in Kenya.
