Firebrand MP Alfred Keter Arrested at Central Bank of Kenya With Sh633 Million Fake Treasury Bills

Nandi Hills Member of Parliament Alfred Keter was on Friday morning arrested at the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) headquarters in Nairobi for allegedly faking treasury bills worth Sh633 million.

The firebrand MP was apprehended alongside two others; Arthur Ingolo Sakwa and Madat Suburali Chatur, while presenting the forged treasury bills reportedly issued by CBK in the 1990s.

The trio was taken in by Anti-Banking Fraud Unit detectives as they waited to meet CBK Governor Patrick Njoroge, and were driven to Criminal Investigations Department (CID) headquarters for questioning.

"The three individuals have been arrested for presenting forged Treasury Bills purportedly issued by the CBK in the 1990s," said Mr Wallace Kantai, the director of communications at the CBK.

They had reportedly been invited to meet the the CBK governor as part of the process of redeeming the bills. Sakwa and Chatur are directors of Desai Industries Limited.

@Mbingu, I agree with you wholeheaartedly. Ndugu Keter should have been aware that he was on the radar. In the past, he questioned about Dada Waiguru and the NYS.

Before arresting Keter, they should have arrested:

1. Kalemshi Pattni - Goldenberg financial scandal

2. Toroitich - " " "

3. Musalia Mudavadi " " "

4. Anne Waiguru - NYS

5. Matiang'i - used our money to deport Miguna

For justice to prevail, all financial scandal participants should be arrested and taken to Ndugu Maraga. He is the first true real Chief Justice of Kenya since independence.

These guys who are always up in arms, be it JP or Nasa have something to hide. They use their breathing-fire and nail-biting antics to keep a casual eye at bay. People who have something to hide use these antics to build walls around themselves. Make examples of these guys if found guilty so that others may learn to keep off their hands from the cookie jar.

@Cord Principals:

I have taken an oath that, I will help If I can without expecting anything in return. I will not accept or give out any bribe. I am ready to die for my stand on this issue. What about you?

Let me remind you again: Neither Raila or Uhuru is fit to lead the people of the Republic of Kenya. Niwaigua?

Poor boy! He should have gone for anticipatory bail. Or maybe he will still get one anyway.
Don't be suprised when he goes further and gets a relief court order preventing anyone from investigating or arresting him!

Lakini huyu ujinga ni zaidi.Now i here some of his hungry tribesmen were demonstrating demanding his release but none of them asked him why he had gone to assist thugs con CBK.Is he a director of Desai or their lawyer?Did he give the demonstrators a penny of the loot he was paid by kina majambazi Ruto na Uhuru when he vowed to block the rail construction?Do they know of the MP's Gilgil weighbridge drama?Do they know the amount he bribe to end the case?

I wonder if mr Keter is fit to be an MP. If found guilty of an offence, he should be jailed and to lose his parliamentary seat. IEBC falted by allowing him to run in the last polls after the Gilgil saga. All the Mps should be vetted again and those with criminal records to lose seats whether in JP, NASA or otherwise
