Boniface Mutinda Kabaka (January 1, 1966 – 11 December 2020) was a Kenyan politician who served as a Senator from Machakos County from 2017 until his death in 2020.[1]
Kabaka was born on January 1, 1966, in Machakos County. He received several degrees from the University of Nairobi, including master's degrees in business administration, law, and diplomacy, and a PhD in finance law.

He was elected to the Senate on January 27, 2017 under the Chama Cha Uzalendo political party.[3]
In late November 2020, Kabaka tested positive for COVID-19. He was also suffering from a blood clot in the head and on 4 December collapsed after complaining of a headache; he was rushed to The Nairobi Hospital in critical condition after suffering from a stroke in a hotel 4 days earlier. A schoolteacher was suspected of being responsible, and was taken in for questioning, but was released 1 day later.[4] Kabaka died on 11 December, 2020.[5] He was buried on December 22 at his home in Mikuyuni village, Masinga in Machakos County.[6]
