Background on Beryl Achieng Odinga
Beryl Achieng Odinga passed away on Tuesday, 25 November 2025. She was the daughter of Kenya’s first Vice President Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and Mary Ajuma Oginga, and the younger sister of the late opposition leader Raila Odinga, whose own death earlier in the month plunged the country into mourning.
Family and friends have remembered Beryl as warm-hearted, compassionate, and exceptionally devoted to her loved ones. She was a mother of three — Ami, Auma, and Chizi — and was widely admired for her kindness and unwavering support for those around her.
Her passing has compounded a difficult period for the Odinga family, coming so soon after the loss of Raila Odinga, a towering figure in Kenya’s political landscape.
Funeral arrangements and the official burial date are expected to be communicated by the family in the coming days.
