Raila Odinga’s sister Bery Achieng Mourned
The deputy party leader of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), Abdulswammad Nassir, has expressed his heartfelt condolences for the passing of Beryl Achieng, the younger sister of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who sadly passed away on Tuesday, November 25, 2025.
Ruth Odinga, the Kisumu County Woman Representative and Beryl’s biological sister, confirmed the heartbreaking news while keeping the details surrounding her death private on Tuesday.
Beryl was the daughter of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, who was Kenya’s first Vice President, and Mary Ajuma Oginga. She leaves behind three children: Ami, Auma, Chizi, and Taurai.
“It is with a heavy heart, but accepting the will of God, we announce the sudden passing of Beryl Achieng Odinga. Daughter of the late Hon. Jaramogi Odinga and Mama Mary Ajuma Oginga. Mother to Ami Auma, Chizi and Taurai.”
“Sister to Senator Oburu Oginga, Rt Hon Raila Odinga, Akinyi Wenwa, and others. Sister-in-law to Dr Anne Oburu, Dr Canon Ida Odinga, Hon. Tabu Osewe, and Judy Oburu,” Ruth Odinga said in a statement.
Sharing the loss with the Odinga family, Abdulswammad Nassir said, ”On behalf of the ODM fraternity and the millions of supporters who stand with the Odinga family, I extend my deepest condolences during this moment of immense grief. Beryl was a beloved daughter of the late Hon. Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and Mama Mary Ajuma Oginga and a cherished sibling to Sen. Dr Oburu Oginga, Rt Hon. Raila Odinga, and Akinyi Wenwa,” the Mombasa Governor said on Tuesday, November 25, 2025.
”My prayers and heartfelt sympathy also go to her in-laws — Dr. Anne Oburu, Dr. Canon Ida Odinga, Hon. Tabu Osewe and Judy Oburu – and all those who share in this deep loss. Her passing is a profound reminder of life’s fragility.”
“Beryl will be remembered for her grace, warmth and the quiet strength with which she carried herself. She leaves behind a legacy reflected in her children and in the many lives she touched with kindness and humility. May God grant the Odinga family patience, comfort and strength in this difficult period. May He envelop them in His peace and grant Beryl’s soul eternal rest,” he added.
In the month following the burial of her elder brother, Raila Odinga, leaders from both sides of the political spectrum have come together to express their sorrow over the loss.
