During an interview with NTV, Keter accused Majority Leader of the National Assembly Aden Duale and Mumias East MP Benjamin Washiali were giving the President wrong information in regards to the matter
"Duale and Washiali are misleading the President. They went straight away to confuse the DP. They said we agreed but we hadn't agreed. We saw the role of the DP (William Ruto). He was closer to Duale & Washiali," said Keter.
Keter was elected to head the Labour Committee said that the Executive was trying to control and give direction on how committees are run.
"I have told the President, in person, and the DP that it is wrong to interfere with the business of Parliament. There is no political party that has powers to order or direct how Parliament runs," he said.
Keter is said to have gone against Jubilee's directive and vied for the seat, something that has caused jitters in the ruling party.
According to Jubilee leaders in the house, there was need for inclusivity in parliamentary committees.
