Monica Kimani’s father Reverend Paul Ngarama has revealed the last promise she made to him, before her brutal murder.

Speaking during her requiem mass held at the Mount Kenya University Grounds in Thika, Monica’s father said that she promised to buy him a Toyota Landcruiser V8.

“You bought our mum a Subaru Impreza last week. We celebrated, and you promised me a V8 land cruiser as your birthday surprise. I am still waiting. A daughter of a barber to an MD of a family company,” Reverend Ngarama recounted his last moments with Monica.

He went ahead to say that he could not believe that his daughter was gone for good.

Forgiveness

“It has been one week. Even as we have a memorial service for you, I still can’t believe that you are gone Monica. I keep looking at the door, hoping that at any given moment, you will walk right in and say hi Dad. I am here still waiting for you,” he said.

Ngarama also said that he had forgiven the killers of her daughter, because God is the giver of life, but he would still like to know who it was so that he could pray for them.

“For sure Monica, you may not return to me, it is me to come where you are. I have learnt to forgive,” said Reverend Paul Ngarama.
