Sammy Mugane: RIP JIMMY WAYUNI (MAMA SURURU)

It's so sad to hear the sudden demise of my friend Jimmy Wayuni Githinji (Jimmy Walter Githinji Wayuni), popular Kikuyu musician who past on last night.

Jimmy was my friend when I was working at Lang'ata KRA Staffs Quarters as a security guard with BM Security. This was in 2006-2007.

I remember how we could chat together when he came back home from concerts in his black BMW old model car which he liked driving in as loud music of his songs blared from the car speakers. He was so jovial and he would give me tips as I opened the premises gate for him at night when back home at the quarters. By then he was attached to KRA...

Hearing of his demise is so touching when I recall his good encounters with him.

May God comfort his family, colleagues and friends at this difficult time.

I also wish quick recovery to Jackson, a Kikuyu musician he was escorting at around 11 pm last night but got a headon collision with an oncoming lorry. Unfortunately Jimmy passed on but Jackson survived the crash.

Jimmy sang songs like Airitu A Ruiru, popular Mama Sururu among others.

RIP my friend and shine your way.

Death! Death! Why now?

Hatuwezi mkosoa Mwenyezi Mungu but this is too sad.

Joe Muritu: R.I.P Jimmy Wayuni Githinji we loved you but God loved you more. Will always remember how you would let us ride on your small pickup in kiamwangi on your way to your moms place and on reaching home we would refuse to alight unless you sing for us. Airitu a ruiru, kamau wa maitu, wayuni uhenagia, and mama sururu still remains favourite songs I grew up listening to.
