According to reports, the death of content creator Joshua Muraya Kagema has continued to evoke emotional reactions across social media, with a Facebook post by Triza Mamake Muraya attracting widespread attention following his passing.
Kagema died on Monday, August 3, after battling an illness that had seen him admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). A day before his death, his elder brother, Karangu Muraya, had appealed to Kenyans to pray for his recovery, expressing hope that he would overcome the illness.
The loss has been particularly painful for the family, which is mourning another tragedy just months after losing another sibling.
As tributes poured in from friends, fans, and fellow content creators, Triza Mamake Muraya shared a cryptic message on Facebook that many social media users associated with the family’s grief. Although she did not mention Kagema by name, the timing of the post prompted widespread speculation about its meaning.
Her post read: “When the devil knows that there are people who cover you with prayers/intercede for you…he finds a way to remove those people from that position so that he can now finish you. Then he comes to you with the thing that you love the most. Devil just know that we know you.”
The message generated varied reactions online. While some interpreted it as an expression of grief and faith during a difficult period, others said they found it difficult to understand, with some believing it contained expressions influenced by Kikuyu language and culture. Several followers requested further clarification or a translation.
As of the time of publication, Triza had not explained the message or confirmed whether it was directly related to Kagema’s death. She had also not issued any additional statement regarding the post.
Meanwhile, heartfelt tributes have continued to be shared by fans, fellow content creators, and friends who remembered Kagema as a talented, cheerful, and inspirational entertainer whose work resonated with many people.
Triza Mamake Muraya and Karangu Muraya’s second wife, Carol Kim, also posted emotional messages in his memory, reflecting the close relationship they shared with the late content creator.
As the Muraya family comes to terms with yet another heartbreaking loss, Kenyans have continued to express their condolences, offering prayers and words of comfort during this difficult period.
