Koffi Sama (born 1944 [http://www.ibe.unesco.org/international/ICE/ministers/Togo.pdf Page on Sama at ibe.unesco.org] (PDF) fr icon.] ) was the Prime Minister of Togo from 29 June 2002 until 9 June 2005.

Sama was born in Amoutchou in Ogou Prefecture. He was Minister of Youth, Sports, and Culture from 1981 to 1984, Regional Director of Rural and Maritime Region Development from 1986 to 1990, and Director-General of the Togolese Cotton Company from 1990 to 1996, before re-entering the government as Minister of Health, in which position he served from 1996 to 1999. He then served as Minister of National Education and Research from 1999 to 2002."Jun 2002 - TOGO", Keesing's Record of World Events, Volume 48, June, 2002 Togo, Page 44830.] On 7 December 2000, he also became the Secretary-General of the Rally of the Togolese People (RPT) ruling party.

President Gnassingbé Eyadéma appointed Sama as Prime Minister on 27 June 2002, replacing Agbeyome Kodjo;Ebow Godwin, [http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-53929261.html "Togolese president sacks West African nation's prime minister"] , Associated Press (highbeam.com), 29 June 2002.] this move was said to be done as part of preparations for the parliamentary election that was held later in the year. Following the death of Eyadéma on 5 February 2005, Sama, as Prime Minister, announced the news, calling it a "national catastrophe".
