In a separate Eulogy, Mr Koikai also shared the final special moments he had with his late daughter Njambi.
He described their relationship as having both good and bad times, noting that they only met when Njambi was in high school because he was working abroad during her childhood.
“When times were good, we would go shopping and have lunch at some restaurants in the city, and you enjoyed meeting me very much. I deeply miss the good times we shared together.
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,” Mr. Koikai wrote.
