Ida Odinga

Ida Odinga's record is defined by her pioneering role as a woman in Kenyan corporate leadership and her unwavering commitment to public service. Being named one of the top 100 most powerful women in Kenya by The Standard in 2010 marked a rare recognition of a female leader in a male-dominated business environment. Her appointment to the United Nations Environment Programme further cemented her status as a diplomat of note. The establishment of the Raila Odinga Centre for Democracy stands as a testament to her ability to channel personal loss into national progress, creating a lasting institution for democratic education.
