Ida Betty Odinga (jina la kuzaliwa Ida Anyango Oyoo 24 Agosti 1950 [1]) ni mfanyabiashara , mwanaharakati na mwalimu wa Kenya. Yeye ni mke wa Raila Odinga, Waziri Mkuu wa zamani wa Kenya na kiongozi wa National Super Alliance (NASA). [2] Mnamo 2010, gazeti la The Standard lilimtaja Odinga, ambaye alikuwa mmoja wa wanawake wa kwanza kuongoza kampuni kubwa ya Kenya, kama mmoja wa wanawake wenye nguvu zaidi nchini Kenya mwaka wa 2010.
Maisha ya mapema na elimu
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Odinga alipata Shahada ya Kwanza ya Sanaa kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha Nairobi mnamo 1974 alipokuwa na umri wa miaka 24. [3] [4] Alipokuwa akihudhuria Chuo Kikuu cha Nairobi, alikutana na mume wake mtarajiwa, Raila Odinga, ambaye alikuwa mfanyakazi wa Idara ya Uhandisi ya chuo hicho wakati huo. [5] Wenzi hao walifunga ndoa tarehe 1 Septemba 1973 na wana watoto wanne. Mmoja wa watoto wao, Fidel Odinga, alifariki mwaka wa 2015. [6] [7]
Kazi
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Alifanya kazi kama mwalimu kwa zaidi ya miaka ishirini baada ya kuhitimu. Alifundisha katika Shule ya Upili ya Kenya, shule ya umma ya wasichana wote iliyoko karibu na Nairobi . Wanafunzi wake ni pamoja na marehemu Gavana wa Kaunti ya Bomet, Joyce Laboso.
Raila Odinga alifungwa 1982 kama mfungwa wa kisiasa na serikali ya Rais Daniel arap Moi . [8] Ida Odinga kwa kiasi kikubwa aliwalea watoto wake mwenyewe katika miaka hiyo alipokuwa akifanya kazi kama mwalimu. [9] [10] Hata hivyo, Ida Odinga baadaye alifukuzwa kwenye nafasi yake ya ualimu na serikali inayoongozwa na Muungano wa Kitaifa wa Afrika ya Kenya kutokana na upinzani wa kisiasa wa Raila Odinga. [11]
Odinga alianzisha Muungano wa Wapiga Kura Wanawake wa Kenya mwaka wa 1991, [12] ambao unakuza fursa kwa wanawake kwenye ulingo wa kisiasa. [13] [14] Aliwahi kuwa mwenyekiti wa Ligi. [15]Pia ametetea sababu nyingine nyingi, zilizolenga wanawake, watoto na afya nchini Kenya. Odinga ametetea kuzuiwa kwa saratani ya matiti na fistula, na kutokomeza kabisa ugonjwa wa chigoe . Pia amewashauri wasichana wa shule wa Kenya na kukaa kwenye bodi ya wakurugenzi wa shirika linalosaidia walemavu wa miguu.
Alikua mkurugenzi mkuu wa East African Specter, kampuni ya kutengeneza mitungi ya gesi kimiminika, mwaka wa 2003, na kuwa mmoja wa wanawake wa kwanza kuongoza kampuni kubwa ya Kenya. [16] [17]
Gazeti la The Standard lilimuorodhesha Odinga kama mmoja wa wanawake wenye nguvu zaidi nchini Kenya mwaka wa 2010. [18]
Katika mahojiano na CNN International 2012, Odinga alifafanua maisha yake na kusema yeye ni mke wa mwanasiasa. Alimwambia Felicia Taylor wa CNN, "Ni vizuri kuwa mke, lakini ni vizuri kuwa mke aliyeelimika. Kuwa mke, sio tu nafasi ya kuwa chini/Mnyonge - ni nafasi ya nguvu." [19]
Mnamo Novemba 2018, Odinga aliidhinisha Mswada , ambao ungerekebisha Katiba ya Kenya ili kuhakikisha uteuzi wa wagombeaji na wabunge wa kike katika Bunge.[20] Ingawa aliunga mkono hadharani mswada huo, ambao alisema utaongeza nyadhifa za uongozi kwa wabunge wanawake, Odinga pia alibainisha kuwa wanawake hawajawahi kupata fursa ya kushindana kwa usawa na wanasiasa wanaume katika siasa. Odinga alijitokeza Bungeni kuunga mkono wabunge wanawake walioketi wakati wa mjadala huo. [21] Walakini, mswada huo ulishindwa kupitishwa katika Bunge la Kitaifa mnamo Februari 2019, licha ya kuungwa mkono na Ida Odinga, Rais Uhuru Kenyatta, na wanasiasa wengine mashuhuri na wanaharakati.
Mnamo 2019 Odinga alisisitiza kuwa hataidhinisha mtu yeyote kwa uchaguzi wa 2022 na watu wako huru kuchagua yeyote wanayemtaka. [22]
Mnamo Juni 2020, mume wa Ida, waziri mkuu wa zamani, alisafiri hadi Umoja wa Falme za Kiarabu kwa matibabu ya hospitali. [23]
