A portrait of the late Mary Njambi Koikai .

Family and Friends of late reggae DJ Njambi Koikai Friday gathered at Lang'ata cemetery to pay their last respects ahead of her burial.

Speaker after speaker eulogized the MC Fayah Mumah as a very intelligent, strong and loving woman.

Deon Wangui, who delivered the family tribute, said life would not be the same in her absence.

"I'll miss you, I'll miss how your laughter filled the room. For so long, you were home and wherever you were home, I knew I'd be safe and you were there for me when we were happy and safe," Deon read.

"You did this for the whole family, even when you didn't have it for yourself. I hope you know you were loved, I have so much to say. I wish you were here so that I could say it to you. I will always love you forever," she mourned.

Edward Mucheru Njambi read the tribute on behalf of her dad Daniel Koikai:

"It has been one of the most difficult episodes in my life, especially for your close family. Your sudden and unexpected death cut short your very bright and promising career at a time when you had already entered the political arena," he said.

"Having vied for the Member of Parliament for  Dagoreti South in the 2022 elections where you came an impressive fourth, my tribute to you will be my contribution to your life."

Njambis's father said he met Njambi when she was joining high school considering she was working abroad during her early years.

"When I saw you, I saw myself. When we spoke at length about your education, you later went to Alia girls then to Makini school where you did your O levels then joined Saint Christophers for your A levels," the father said.

"You are a shining beacon to many and your legacy needs to be continued," the father added.

Nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba also paid glowing tribute to late reggae DJ Njambi Koikai.

"Njambi lived for a reason, she was passionate about changing lives. A lot of young girls will benefit from Njambi's movement," Senator Orwoba said.

According to Orwoba, Njambi was not just an influencer but a movement adding that she wielded strength and influence over people."Even in death, Njambi's legacy lives on," Orwoba said.
