Odhiambo retired from Rice University due to illness and moved back with his wife to their home in Ndere, Siaya, Kenya, before his 2009 death at the Aga Khan Hospital in Kisumu.
His undergraduate thesis work was on population growth problems in Kenya, where he spent several months researching, including time spent in Siaya District, the location of President Barack Obama’s ancestral village.
The other five locations are Malindi (Coast Province), South Imenti (Eastern Province), Garrisa (North-Eastern Province), Siaya (Nyanza Province) and Mukuru Kiaba (Nairobi Province).
