“During the bad times, we would go days or months without talking, something I blame myself for and will always regret as I’ve lost the chance to make things right with you,” Daniel said.

Daniel also mentioned that Njambi was happy to see him and her mother come together to support her at the time that she needed them the most.

“In the hospital near your bed with your mother, the night you left us, you told me that we are one blood and you were happy I came. We reconnected and I hope we will reconnect again one day,” he shared.

Njambi who was famed for his radio career passed away on Tuesday morning, June 4, at a Nairobi hospital while undergoing treatment.
