Nandi Residents Defend Keter

According to the residents, Keter was justified to storm the station since he was fighting against corruption.

The residents said the officers wanted to extort money from the MP.

Keter and URP nominated MP Sunjeev Birdi have already recorded a statement at the CID head-quarters over the incident.

This is after a video emerged in which Keter and nominated URP MP Sonia Birdi were captured insulting and threatening the police, and officials contracted to man the weighbridge for detaining the lorries while invoking the name of the president.

Kenya National Highway Authority, SGS Kenya Limited officials and police had detained the lorries for among others lacking proper papers and overweight when the incident happened.
