Yes Keter been a broker since his days in PNU. In 2007 he was working for Kibaki 2nd wife. That first time I met him...he was running for Starehe mp..I think he got 10 votes or something like that. Now I remember next I met him with my bro after 2007 - he was engaged in Matatu fight to kick kikuyus out of Eldoret/Kapsabet routes..my brother is also involved in Matatu business. I think they succeeded largely to kalenjinize most of the routes. The next time I met him....I didnt talk to him..that was 2016..we were sitting not far from him..and he came with two other guys..I think bodyguard and PA...pale Njunguna westland and it was launch of 2016 Jubilee party. He was telling his guys that Ruto is an idiot and kikuyus will ruka him....he didnt realize we were kalenjin next table listening to Jubilee thing.
I think initially he started opposing UhuRuto in 2013 as hireling of David Langat when he missed SGR tender. DL had his chinese. Wanjigi had his chinese. Uhuru after doing simple maths...got his own chinese
.
DL & Ruto seem to have patched up their difference - Wanjigi never recovered. Next Keter was adopted by Isaac Ruto who was using county money to fight WSR ( a stupid venture). I again met in Kericho during by-election of Kiptoyoit - and he was inciting kipsigis against Ruto - Sudi was in that camp too
- and the likes of Ngong Ngeno. Last few days Charles and WSR overturned their propaganda...Ruto declared he was kipsigis himself by blood..nandi by nurture..and Charles told the visitors from Kericho to leave kericho to decide...they got beat 10-nil.
Then he became a freelance - adopted by handshake crew.
He is a broker for hire (like most MPS) - but he knows how to get stuff done in mashinani. His only mistake is to take war to UDA or Ruto directly. He should have made it Sudi versus Keter kind of thing. If he touches WSR - then he wont make it.
Keter was hired by DP enemies to fight/undermine DP from 2018-2021. Glad he is out of UDA and to tough independent. Running independent is hard because folks assume you are azimio in sheep's clothing. He will have to thread carefully criticizing UDA and DP while campaigning to win. Buzeki is on year 10 and am sure Keter is heading the same path. It looks like kina sudi/mandago wamemkonga 10 nil the same way they did buzeki. Me too, I don't like anyone that criticizes DP whether just or unjustly! Let him stay in the cold for 5 years!
