NAIROBI, KENYA: Alfred Keter's loss of  the Nandi Hills  seat caught many by surprise coming at a time when the firebrand MP is making for the wrong reasons.

Alfred Keter has been a thorn in the flesh of his sponsoring party, Jubilee, ever since he criticised the awarding of the the multi-billion-shilling  Standard Gauge Railway  tender to Chinese firm, the Gilgil Weighbridge affair where he assaulted workers and the latest  arrest and arraignment in court on suspicion of attempting to encash forged  Treasury Bills worth Sh633m to the Central Bank of Kenya in company of businessmen Madat Chatur and Arthur Sakwa.
