A Rift Valley politician has been accused of adultery after his wife revealed text messages with a Maasai Mara University student on the Facebook group "Group Kenya." The incident occurred in 2019, following the 2017 parliamentary elections when Sammy Keter, a lawyer who ran on a KANU ticket, lost his bid for office.
Keter's wife discovered the communications by reviewing his phone, leading her to publicly expose the relationship. The messages allegedly detailed an ongoing affair between Keter and the second-year student, prompting the wife to threaten suicide over the betrayal.
The case highlights tensions in personal and political spheres, with the wife's actions drawing attention to the private conduct of a former candidate. No official response from Keter or his party has been reported.
