SIAYA, KENYA – Beryl Achieng Odinga, the younger sister of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, will be laid to rest on December 6, 2025, at the family’s ancestral home in Kang’o ka Jaramogi, Bondo, Siaya County. She passed away on November 25, 2025, at the age of 78, after a prolonged illness.
Beryl, a professional and public servant, led a relatively private life, focusing on administration and community service rather than elective politics. She made history as the first Black Town Clerk of Mutare, Zimbabwe, and served as Chairperson of the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company.
A memorial service will be held on December 3, 2025, at the Consolata Shrine in Westlands, Nairobi, ahead of her burial.
