She also accused the family, particularly Raila’s wife, Ida Odinga, of refusing to take care of Jaramogi’s other kids, who are living in poverty.

However, while hosting people at her home in Kasipul, Wenwa chose to address the lady where she mentioned that when her father married a second wife, after their mother, Mary Juma.
“First of all, Jaramogi initially married (second wife) in 1968. His second wife was called Gaudencia Adeya and that lady who was the mother of her co, later disagreed with Mzee and left and remarried somewhere else. That is when Mzee married Nyangi’s mother, Susan Agik. They had Susan and Omondi. After that there was Mama Betty, and those are the only wives of Jaramogi,” she said.

How does Jaramogi’s family mausoleum look?
Elsewhere, Kang’o Ka Jaramogi in Bondo, Siaya County, serves as the historic ancestral homestead and final resting place for the prominent Odinga family.
The expansive compound houses the mausoleum of Kenya’s first Vice President, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, which also functions as a museum showcasing significant political artefacts and personal belongings.
Following his death in October 2025, former prime minister Raila was interred at the site, fulfilling his wish to be buried alongside his parents.
The grounds also contain a family graveyard where several of Raila’s siblings and his eldest son, Fidel Castro Odinga, were laid to rest.
