On 3 July 2019, Wambui Collymore made a heartfelt request to Kenyans through a text message read on Jeff Koinange's JK Live show on Citizen TV.

She asked Kenyans to wear bright colours during the memorial service of her late husband, Bob Collymore, instead of the traditional black attire.

Collymore, the former Safaricom CEO, passed away on 1 July 2019, after a long battle with blood cancer.

His memorial service will be held on Thursday, 4 July 2019, at All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi from 11am.

Collymore's body was cremated on 2 July 2019, at the Kariakor crematorium in the presence of his family, close friends, and a few staff from Safaricom.
