He reminisced about the celebratory atmosphere present now noting that he did not get aby because Mumbus came too early.
He humorously mentioned that Mumbus was welcomed into the family when he was just 24 and his wife Judy 23, and he playfully hinted at the potential challenges of an empty nest.
"Anaenda boarding. Naskia fiti sana. Unajua huyo mtoi alikjua nikiwa 24. Hizi sherehe mmekuwa mkipiga hapa mimi sikuwahi piga. Sasa wacha nimsafirishe, sijui kama ni tarehe tisa, tarehe kumi mtatusoma kwa gazeti.
"Judy cannot wait. Afadhali mimi nilikuwa 24, she was 23 then we got her. Although after two weeks hivi tutamhata, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. For now wacha akwende," he said.
