ODM party has announced that it will live stream the memorial service of celebrated reggae DJ Njambi (Jahmby) Koikai,  also known as Fyah Mummah.

In a statement on X, ODM recalled that when it was formed, Njambi as among the first entertainers to join the party. 

"When the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) was formed, one of the admirers of its ideology was media personality and entertainer Jahmby Koikai. She immediately became a member," it said.

"Today, in her honour, we shall stream live her memorial service from the Nairobi Chapel on Azimio TV."

Njambi's memorial service is set to take place at Nairobi Chapel, Ngong Road at 11am on Thursday.

The funeral Service will be held at Lang'ata Cemetery, Nairobi on July 14, 2024.

Her family earlier shared their gratitude for the thoughts, prayers, and overwhelming support shown to their late daughter.

They eulogised her as a powerful prayer warrior and a person with a joyful spirit who filled their home with love and hope.

"Njambi challenged us to be better, to dream bigger, and to make our lives count. Her legacy as a loving and caring daughter, sister, niece, relative, and friend will forever be etched in our hearts," the family said.

Njambi passed on at the Nairobi hospital on June 3, 2024.

She suffered from endometriosis since she was 13. She underwent 21 surgeries to treat the disease.

Even in her battle with endometriosis, her family said, Njambi's strength and hope never wavered.

She became a global advocate for women suffering from the disease, offering support, and advice, and tirelessly organising campaigns to raise awareness.

In 2018, Njambi underwent life-changing surgery in Atlanta, Georgia, but her fight did not end there.

She continued to research, speak to others battling endometriosis, and organise events to bring attention to the cause.

'Her resilience and dedication were truly inspiring," the family added.
