Mary Njambi Koikai is known to many Kenyans across the country as Fyah Mama Njamby – an icon of reggae music, radio and entertainment in Kenya.
She is gunning for the Dagoretti South parliamentary seat as an independent candidate in the General Elections scheduled for August 2022. On Monday, January 31, she broke down her plans for the constituency she was born and raised in.
That Njambi is making a s**b at the seat is in itself a major milestone considering that she has been locked in a battle for her life for 19 years. Her struggle with Endometriosis is well documented. She underwent at least 10 surgeries in hospitals in and out of the country.
She returned to the public eye in 2020, which she dubbed her comeback year. While on the recovery journey, Njambi started hosting events and in 2021 got back to radio, as host of Trace na Doba on Trace FM. She has previously hosted shows on Metro FM and QFM in addition to organizing events through her own company Street Empire.
Njambi is also the holder of a degree in International Relations from the United States International University (USIU). She is keen on channeling all her knowledge and experience, including her health struggles, to improve conditions for residents of Dagoretti South.
Her plan for the constituency has five main pillars – jobs for youth and women, support for businesses, increased bursary allocations for education, water and health.

“There is a high unemployment rate in Dagoretti South. We know our people can thrive and succeed if they have opportunities to do so, especially the youth and vulnerable groups in our community. I aim to create opportunities where our people can learn basic skills to help them earn a living.”
