Meet Sam Mburu: Susan Kihika’s Tycoon Husband With 62 Flats in Kitengela and 43 in Embakasi

Sam Mburu is a Nakuru-based businessman who came into the public spotlight through his relationship with Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika. Beyond his marriage to the politician, Mburu has business interests in the logistics industry and is associated with a property portfolio that reportedly includes dozens of residential units in Kitengela and Embakasi.

Mburu and Kihika reportedly met during the 2013 general election period, shortly after Kihika returned to Kenya following a 20-year stay in the United States. Their meeting marked the beginning of a relationship that would eventually lead to marriage.

The couple tied the knot in November 2020, bringing together two individuals with different professional backgrounds. While Kihika built her career in law and politics, Mburu pursued business, particularly in the logistics sector.

Kihika is reportedly ten years older than her husband, an age difference that has occasionally attracted public attention. However, the couple have maintained their relationship while pursuing their respective professional interests.

In business, Mburu is a director of Landmark Freight Services, a logistics company based in Mombasa with two branches in China. The company’s international presence positions it to participate in freight and cargo operations involving Kenya and Asian markets.

Landmark Freight Services reportedly generates approximately Ksh10 million in monthly revenue, although the figure has not been independently verified. The logistics industry plays a significant role in facilitating international trade by connecting importers, exporters and transport networks.

Mburu is also associated with a property portfolio reportedly comprising 62 flats in Kitengela and another 43 in Embakasi. If the figures are accurate, the properties would represent a substantial investment in residential real estate, a sector that has attracted investors seeking rental income and long-term capital appreciation.

The reported 105 residential units highlight another dimension of Mburu’s business interests beyond freight and logistics. However, the ownership details, valuation and rental earnings of the properties have not been independently established.

Despite his association with a prominent political figure, Mburu has largely remained outside the political spotlight, with much of the public interest in him centred on his business ventures and marriage to Kihika.
