INTERMENT OF NJAMBA NENE YA ITA CHAIRMAN (RIP)

Our Beloved John Njema Ndamu aka Chairman of the People will be interred tomorrow at his Karaihu farm, Githakwa, Nyeri, Central Kenya. All who were touched by this salt of earth are coming together to celebrate his exceptional life. Many would like to know what made this man exceptional. The reason is simple that because of his leadership and selflessness, he was named the chairman of the people, mainly the poor. I personally met this man in Lavington, Nairobi where he had a small business. We became friends. As I watched him every time I was able to, I found that he was a giver than a receiver. For a true capitalist Kenyan society, I was attracted to this comportment. I thus, followed up quite often and concluded that giving was in his DNA. Ever since, we became close brothers and friends up until he signed off. For those who knew Chairman as he's fondly known among those who knew him, his death is a thunderbolt like twang to me. Though everything that was born will go back to mother earth, two days will always loom over me and torture me in my life, namely the day Chairman left us and the day he will be lowered to the heart of earth not to be seen forever. What an unbearable a loss! What a  big  tormenting and torturous blow! As a close brother and a true friend, since I received his untimely passing, alas, I have been down to the extent that my family is worried about me. I am a tough and unshakable gong sort of a man. Nevertheless, I have never been this sad so to speak. The loss is not only big but chilling and intimidating so to speak. I knew he'd die just as anybody will, but not so quickly as it occurred.  To make matters even worse, I am unable to attend his last send off. Chairman will always be missed by his wife, Jane Wangui, his children, Wambui Patricia, Wachera Janet, Wamuyu Grace, Ndamu Adam and Ndung'u Job not to mention his grandchildren.

REST IN PEACE JOHN NJEMA NDAMU AKA CHAIRMAN OF THE PEOPLE AKA NJAMA NENE YA ITA AKA KENYA.

TEARS, TEARS, TEARS, SADNESS AD INFINUTUM

Dear my true Brother and Friend Chairman

I wish I had not known you

I hugely thank God that I knew you

Worthy was my interface with you

I enjoyed your kindness and  honour?

Always this will be my joyous clangour

You will always remain my treasure

I still dotingly remember your humour

Yes, your noble behaviour

Rosy is the chapter

The chapter that we lived with you

Don't ask of whom I am lamenting

Don't why I am intermittently agonizing

Yes, I am heartily weeping

Yes, Njamba ya Ita, it is you

It is you about and for whom I am lamenting

It is you whom I am exceptionally celebrating

Though without joy but tears and sobbing

I still am indebted to celebrate you

Rest In Peace my Dear Brother and Friend

 

What does a human indeed

have in this unthankful world?

Is it not a temporal quod?

What a deceptive wonderland!

What is so important at this confusing end?

Again,  when we weigh the pangs and twangs

Should we complain?

Will this stop death's fangs?

Should we become blind because of the agony?

I am still thankful the life of this man

I celebrate of all beauties we have enjoyed

Our knowledge and wealth do not shield us from our weakness

Death has always proved this

Your death is the biggest blow among many

  

Rest In Peace my Dear Brother and Friend

Go well and say hi your Mom and Dad

Who knows what you deserve from God?

It is only God

Yes, God knows your rewards

Too well God knows what You treasured

He see and remembers your good deeds

You touched many of those who knew You

What a selfless and kind Friend?

Shall we meet again

What a Day!

Fare thee well Njamba Nene

Fare thee well Njamba Njega

Fare thee well Njamba ya Ita

Fare thee well Mfowethu

Fare thee well Muru wetu

Fare thee well Njamba ya Tetu
