Rachel Ruto’s office to honour Njambi Koikai in a special way
Finishing up, Senator Gloria highlighted how deeply she had been inspired by the late Reggae enthusiast and how she lived her life adding Koikai’s fight had finally come to fruition and her legacy would always live on.
“The fact that the office of the first lady is sitting down and strategizing how to put together an endometriosis center is because of Njambi! It is not because of any politician or any minister, it is because of Njambi.
Even in death, her legacy lives on and that is the one thing I want to take with me. I want when God calls me people can come and say this is what this person did. Everybody knows what Njambi did from the reggae community to the women and girls and I truly want to celebrate her,” Gloria fiercely said.
Three weeks before her passing the late Koikai had sent a health proposal to President William Ruto, who was on a three-day national tour of the United States at the time.
Using her social media accounts,she urged Ruto to also consider treatment for endometriosis, highlighting that investment in healthcare was one of the key areas of his visit.
“Honorable President, one of the key areas in your visit is investment in healthcare…Atlanta, Georgia, is a dream city for every young girl and woman who has ever struggled with this terrible disease called Endometriosis. There’s a center dedicated to restoring the lives of girls and women who have been crippled by this disease. The @centerforendocare,” she explained at the time.
