He gunned for governortorial seat in 2022 and lost to Dr. Erick Mutai due to the propaganda of the controversial Tea Plucking Machines in the Multinational Tea Companies in the county which are now automated.
He particularly questioned Kapsoit Ward County Assembly Member Paul Chirchir Tarimbo who was infront tagging him with machines, " whose machines are in operational now and what colour was my purported machines," amid applaud of cheers from hundreds mourners.
Keter forewarned them that residents of the county would differentiate between the curt and the race horses, lies and the truth comes 2027 basing on development track records.
