Kenyan Member of Parliament for Nandi Hills, Alfred Keter has been arrested for allegedly trading in forged Treasury Bills worth 633 million shillings.

He was apprehended on Friday alongside two others accomplices, Madat Chatur and Arthur Sakwa.

Kenyan Central Bank communications director Wallace Kantai said: "The three individuals have been arrested for presenting forged Treasury Bills purportedly issued by the CBK in the 1990s."

Kenyan MP arrested with 3 others over fraud

The arrests came amid Keter's troubles with Jubilee Party. In January, President Uhuru Kenyatta summoned him and three other MPs who defied a directive to resign from the committees they were elected to head.

The other three were Moiben’s Silas Tiren, Marakwet MP David Bowen, and Emgwen's Alex Kosgey.

They defied instructions by Deputy President William Ruto to relinquish the seats they had won, against their party's wishes.
