26, 2025 - Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu has shared a heartfelt tribute to
the late Beryl Achieng Odinga, sister to late former Prime Minister Raila
Odinga.
Beryl passed away on Tuesday, November 25th,
2025, at Nairobi West Hospital, just a month after Raila’s burial, plunging the
Odinga family into fresh mourning.
Nyamu expressed her shock and sadness in an Instagram post,
recalling the bond she shared with Beryl.
She revealed that Beryl had a “soft spot” for her during
their time working together and often worried about her public image and online
battles.
“Lately, she had been very concerned about how I handle social
media trolls.”
“But little did she know, the trolls had made me,”
Nyamu wrote, noting that while the advice came from care, the digital conflicts
had shaped her resilience.
Their friendship was rooted in professional collaboration at
the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company, where Beryl served as Chair.
She also shared a photo of the two of them seated outdoors,
smiling and relaxed, a candid reminder of their closeness.
Nyamu added that she suspected something was wrong when
Beryl failed to attend Raila’s funeral.
“When she didn’t attend Baba’s funeral, I knew something was
wrong,” she said.
Nyamu concluded her tribute with a simple farewell: “Rest in
peace, Osiep Chunya.”
Beryl, the daughter of the late Hon. Jaramogi Odinga and Mama Mary Ajuma Oginga, was remembered for her quiet strength and leadership.
