Samuel Sakita Kutata

Samuel Sakita Kutata is a prominent Kenyan educator, politician, and public official currently serving as the Board Chairman of the Ewaso Ngiro South River Basin Development Authority (ENSDA), a parastatal position to which he was appointed by President William Ruto. Locally nicknamed "Mwalimu" due to his foundational career as a primary school head teacher under the Teachers Service Commission, Kutata transitioned into high-profile politics as a key figure within the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party. He grew his national and regional profile during the 2022 general election, where he ran a highly competitive campaign for the Kajiado South parliamentary seat and finished as the first runner-up. Today, he balances his administrative leadership at ENSDA with his role as an influential power broker in Maa regional politics, frequently shaping strategic alignments and local development agendas in Kajiado County.
