Ruto’s Vocal Critic Alfred Keter Abducted In Broad Daylight While Children Scream
Alfred Keter, a former Nandi Hills Member of Parliament, was reportedly abducted by unknown people on Sunday, June 30.
The abduction occurred in broad daylight as the former legislator was leaving a church service in Nairobi.
In viral video clips seen by AfricasNow, the former MP is being led out of his SUV and driven away by unknown people in a white pickup truck.
“Abducted, headed to an unknown destination,” an account associated with Keter posted moments after the incident.
Keter has been an outspoken critic of Kenya Kwanza’s administration, particularly the now-withdrawn Finance Bill.
Several leaders, including Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino, blamed the Kenyan police for the abduction.
“Alfred Keter arrested in Church. Intimidation tactics will not work,” the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) elected MP stated.

Notably, Keter was arrested a day after touring Bondo in Siaya County with Babu Owino and remarking that the Kenya Kwanza administration would last only one term.
“I will say as it is without any fear, the people of Kenya lost hope in this government. You can lie to them once but not always.,” Keter had spoken of the Kenya Kwanza administration.
He also stated that in the coming days, he would embark on a countrywide tour to discredit President William Ruto’s government for broken promises.
Keter fell out with the President after he was denied a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket for the 2022 general elections.
The former MP claimed he won the party primaries but was denied the ticket.
In February 2024, he clarified that he was not bitter over the developments.
