“Memorial service itakua Alhamisi na maelezo zaidi yatakuja baadaye kabla siku ya Alhamisi.

Mazishi itakua ni Ijumaa pale Lang’ata kwa sababu nyanya yake hapo ndio amezikwa na familia yake walisema wangependa azikwe karibu na yeye.” He said.

She will be buried at Lang’ata Cemetery because her grandmother was buried there, and the family suggested that she be buried close to her.)

Jahmby Koikai passed away during treatment at Nairobi Hospital on May 24, 2024, after a long struggle with endometriosis.

Her father described the experience as incredibly tough for the entire family.

“It was not easy to see my daughter suffer and watch the doctors try their best to treat her.

They did everything they could, but in the end, she could not be healed.”

Why Jahmby will not be laid down in a casket box

Her mother explained, sharing reasons why she will not put her in a casket box, saying she surpasses that and will not be put in a casket because of the many things she was.

“Hapa mimi nitasema kama mzazi wa Jahmby..hatutamwuweka Jahmby kwa box, because she is many things… Jhamby ni Msomi, a Christian, Mwanasiasa, artist, mentor, and member of the reggae fraternity,

Hivo ndivyo nilivyomjua mtoto wangu…. na hatutasema tumweke tuseme ni hii…. Jahmby ni rastafarian na ni hiyo yote.” Her mother said.
