Jahmby’s death

Jahmby Koikai took her last breath on June 4, 2024, at the age of 38 while receiving treatment at a Nairobi hospital after a long battle with endometriosis.

She was buried on June 14, 2024, at Lang’ata Cemetery, Nairobi County, in an event attended by thousands of reggae fans, celebrities, and a section of politicians.

Throughout her battle with endometriosis, Jahmby consistently shared updates with her fans via social media, documenting every step of her recovery.

Njugush’s matatu business

Njugush and Cele ventured into the matatu industry in April 2024.

Speaking at the grand unveiling of his first matatu, Njugush expressed excitement about venturing into new business opportunities.

“I want to explore various avenues, including farming. It’s about seizing opportunities that others have laid the groundwork for. This venture is a trial, and I’m hopeful it will be successful. It’s the way forward. We should capitalise on our successes to invest wisely as artists,” Njugush said.

The comedian thanked his close friends, including Butita, Abel Mutua, Judy Mutua, and Philip Karanja, for supporting his dreams.

“These are the individuals whose photos adorn the interior of our matatu. It’s by the grace of God. Hard work plays a part, but ultimately, it’s God’s hand that guides us. Kenyans, please support our venture. I can’t fully express how I feel, but I hope for the best,” Njugush said.

The power couple has named both 36-seater matatus after their two sons, Tugi and Toria.
