Makau Mutua is an accomplished Kenyan scholar and political operator, and one of the Azimio coalition leader Raila Odinga’s top advisors.

Mutua has worked as a Law professor at universities in the US including SUNY Buffalo School of Law, where he was the Dean between 2008 and 2014. He has also served as a consultant for organizations including the World Bank and in various human rights organizations.

In 2022, Mutua ploughed some of his cash into the establishment of a luxury resort in his backyard, literally. Mutua converted his home into a popular multi-million shilling luxury resort, complete with a swimming pool, bar, gym, restaurant, meeting rooms and luxurious accommodation.

Kitui Villa was opened at a ceremony in  2022 attended by Azimio leaders Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka.

It incorporates 8 luxury rooms, with a jacuzzi as well as outdoor dining areas. Its chefs specialize in a variety of cuisines including sumptuous African meals.

It regularly hosts events including swanky cocktail parties, and has managed to secure a spot as one of the top hotels in Kitui. It is also frequented by the political elite in the region, with high-profile meetings held at the facility.

Mutua was Odinga’s top adviser in his unsuccessful 2022 Presidential bid. He has continued to be a key backer of Odinga and Azimio’s escalating anti-government protests over issues including the cost of living and the Finance Act 2023.
