Sunday Steve Karimi is a Nigerian politician and senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Kogi State. Karimi is the Chairman of the Committee on Senate Services.
From 2011 to 2019, Karimi was the member representing Yagba East/Yagba West/Mopamuro constituency in the House of Representatives.
In October 2023, Karimi explained in an interview with Channels TV that the Senate needed to buy imported Sport Utility Vehicles for its 109 members because "Most of our roads are terribly bad." When challenged by interviewer Seun Okinbaloye, he defended his position by saying, "Somebody that is a minister has more than three Land Cruisers, Prado, and other vehicles, and you are not asking them questions; why us?"
