Dr. Rachael Kaki Nyamai is the Member of Parliament for Kitui South, currently serving her third consecutive term, having first been elected in 2013 and re-elected in 2017 and 2022. Over more than a decade in Parliament, she has established herself as one of the most experienced legislators from Kitui County, known for consistency, institutional memory, and a focus on governance and land justice—issues of deep relevance to her semi-arid constituency. In the National Assembly, Dr. Nyamai previously served as the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands, one of Parliament’s most sensitive and influential committees given Kenya’s long-standing land disputes. Her leadership on the committee elevated her national profile, particularly on matters of land tenure, compensation, and public land management. Despite shifting political tides in Ukambani, she remains one of the few MPs from Kitui elected on a Jubilee Party ticket, underscoring her personal electoral strength beyond party waves.
