Kenya's head of state has paid tribute to Beryl Achieng' Odinga, whose death arrived weeks after her brother Raila passed away, praising her pioneering work as an urban planner who shaped Zimbabwe's development during the 1980s before returning home to lead water utility reforms. President William Ruto highlighted how the deceased blazed trails for professional women across Africa while steering transformative changes at Nairobi's sewerage company from 2020 onward.

Opposition figures joined the mourning, with Kanu leader Gideon Moi recognizing her dual careers in teaching and advocacy, while ODM secretary Edwin Sifuna pledged party solidarity during what he termed an exceptionally painful stretch for the bereaved relatives. Family representative Ruth Odinga earlier confirmed the loss devastated their household, though they found spiritual comfort despite grief over losing a devoted mother to three children and a beloved sibling who deliberately maintained distance from political theater throughout her life.
