The family of the late Njambi ‘Jahmby’ Koikai, beloved MC and radio presenter, has shared the details of her upcoming burial.
In a recent interview with local media, Njambi’s mother confirmed that the burial will take place on Friday, 14th June at Lang’ata Cemetery.
Njambi’s mother explained the family’s decision to bury her at Lang’ata Cemetery, rather than in their ancestral village.
“The memorial service will be on Thursday, and more details will be provided before the burial on Friday at Lang’ata Cemetery. She will be buried there because her grandmother is buried there, and the family wanted her to be laid to rest close to her,” the deceased’s father explained.
Njambi’s mother further paid an emotional tribute to her daughter, saying she will not be put in a box.
“Kama mzazi wa Njambi, hatutamweka in a box. She is many things. Ni msomi, a Christian, an artist, ni mwanasiasa, ni wa hio fraternnity wa reggae. Njambi is a mentor.
“So hivyo ndivyo nilijua mtoto wangu kulingana na vile alikuwa na mafans wake. Njambi ni mkubwa. Kwa hivyo Njambi ni hiyo yote.”
She emphasized that Njambi was a person of the people, someone who served everyone individually and could not be limited to one identity.
“Na Njambi hakutaka kuwekwa kwa box na mtu yeyote kwa alihudumia kila mtu kibinafsi kwa hivo hangejileta kwa upande moja, aseme ‘Mimi ni hii, ama ‘mimi ni hii, Alikuwa mtu wa watu.”
The family invites all who knew and loved Njambi to join them in remembering and celebrating her life.
