The late Jahmby Koikai's father has spoken on his daughter's demise.
The media personality and reggae sensation breathed her last on Tuesday, June 4, at 38 years old.
Her death came after multiple surgeries in her years of enduring the torturous battle with endometriosis.
Speaking for the first time after his child's death, the old man revealed she would be laid to rest at Nairobi's Lang'ata Cemetery on Friday, June 14.

He said it was the bereaved family's wish to lay her to rest next to her grandmother.
"Her grandmother was buried at Lang'ata, and the family deemed it fit to lay her to rest there," he said.
The jaded father went on to narrate the tough experience of seeing his child endure pain and later breathe her last.
She died in his presence.
"I was with her in the hospital. It was not easy seeing her suffer as doctors strived to save her but failed in the long run. She was a hardworking woman. She always wanted to pursue her education. If she decided to work on something, she would fully commit to it. She told me she wanted to further her education. She was at Daystar and later at the USIU, and then Alliance Française where she learned French," he recalled.
However, despite the pain of losing his daughter, the father marvelled at the presence of Jahmby's many friends who pulled together to share in the grief with the family.
He revealed the family needed at least Sh 3 million for burial rites and clearance of the hospital bills.
