Keïta was born in 1924 in Molota in the Kindia Region, completed some secondary schooling in Dakar and in 1947 was appointed a court clerk in Macenta. He was selected by the future President Ahmed Sékou Touré as a trade union activist, and became a member of the Guinean Democratic Party. In 1956 he was elected mayor of Kindia.[2] When Guinea gained independence from France, on 10 November 1958 he was appointed secretary of state in the Office of the Presidency.[3]
In April 1960, as Minister of Cooperatives, he unveiled a plan for development of industry and agriculture that significantly increased collective ownership of the means of production, a measure greeted enthusiastically by party militants and unexpectedly endorsed by the president.[4] In 1962 he visited Moscow, where he signed a trade agreement.[5] On 1 January 1963 he was appointed Minister of Trade, on 1 February 1964 he was named Vice-President and on 8 November 1964 he became Minister for Macenta. On 19 January 1968 he was named a member of the politburo and Minister of Commerce, Transport, Posts and Telecommunications.[1] In this role, in February 1969 he visited China in 1969 where he met Mao Zedong in Beijing.[6] In the 1972 cabinet he became Minister of Social Affairs.[1] In May 1972 he was among the members of the National Politburo who welcomed Fidel Castro of Cuba on his visit to Guinea.[7] In a final cabinet reorganization on 1 June 1979 he was appointed Minister of Energy and for Konkouré.[1]
After the death of Sékou Touré, the military seized power and arrested Keïta and other members of the former government. He was later executed.[2]
