I'd drop {ko'a goi}; then at least {ko'a} has an expressed antecedent, even
though it isn't explicitly assigned to it. If you drop {goi roda}, the {ko'a}
means "him" and you don't know whom.

{facki ra} isn't right; the x2 of facki is that which is found out about
something. {tolcri} would make more sense.
