"I wanted to concentrate on my studies...I am not like some politicians who enroll for a degree, miss classes and end up buying the academic papers," he stated.

Fraud case

The legislator was a fierce critic of Deputy President William Ruto before he was arrested and charged with fraud.

Mr Keter along with Madat Chatur and Arthur Sakwa were accused of forging treasury bonds worth Sh633 million.

After denying the charges, he was released on Sh2 million bond and required to appear in court for subsequent hearings.

A warrant of arrest was later issued after he failed to appear in court and annulled when he honoured the summons.
