Her reflections offered rare insight into a personal bond that had remained largely unknown to many Kenyans.
Beryl spent most of her life away from political limelight, unlike her famous siblings Raila Odinga, Oburu Oginga, and Ruth Odinga.
She preferred a quiet professional path as a teacher and later as a lawyer, choosing not to involve herself deeply in political life.
Before her death, Beryl recalled her university days, where she studied alongside Kalonzo Musyoka and Anyang Nyong’o.
She reminded the public that her association with prominent leaders began long before their national influence emerged.
Her final message emphasised that Kalonzo had always been a disciplined and focused student who showed leadership traits even in their youthful years.
She urged Kenyans to remember leaders not only for their political positions but also for the character they displayed long before stepping into national roles.
Beryl noted that the bond among students of her era extended beyond politics, adding that Kalonzo represented a generation that valued humility and academic commitment.
She encouraged the public to appreciate this side of him, especially during a time when political tensions often overshadowed personal histories.
Her message came during Oburu Oginga’s birthday celebration in Siaya, where she openly shared her memories of studying with Kalonzo.
She revealed that this experience shaped her perspective on leadership and contributed to her admiration for individuals who stayed true to their values.
Beryl reminded Kenyans that her family’s political prominence did not erase the simple human stories that linked them to other national figures.
She highlighted that Kalonzo remained someone she respected deeply, not because of his office, but because of the years they shared in school.
