Former Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter was on Sunday, June 30, arrested in Nairobi's Kileleshwa area, by people believed to be police officers dressed in civilian clothing in a video that has since gone viral online, amid uproar over increased incidents of abductions.
Keter was in the company of his wife and children when their car, a Land Cruiser V8, which was blocked by a Ford Ranger double-cabin along Nyeri Road in the shocking incident.
The former MP was then forcefully pulled out of his car as members of the public watched on, with some screaming as Keter resisted the arrest.
He was bundled into the pickup which then drove off, leaving his wife and kids utterly shocked.
His abduction comes a day after he attended the burial of Comedian Fred Omondi in Siaya, where he applauded Kenyan youth for taking to the streets to protest the unpopular Finance Bill 2024.
Keter urged the youth to continue agitating for their rights, joining a host of other people who have rejected the punitive bill.
The former MP has been a huge critic of the current government and its policies, siding with the opposition and indeed protesters who are now calling for President Ruto to resign from office.
