Keti is a former police officer and assistant police commissioner.[1] He was first elected to the legislative Assembly in the 2016 Samoan general election,[2] and was appointed Deputy Speaker.[3][4]
In May 2019 he removed opposition MP Olo Fiti Vaai from the Finance and Expenditure Committee after he criticised government spending decisions.[5][6]
In March 2021 Keti was accused on EFKS-TV of attempting to rape a fellow police officer in 2007 when he was a supervisor at the Faleolo Police Outpost.[7] The TV station was subsequently raided,[8] and his accuser arrested and charged with criminal libel.[9]
Keti's seat of Gagaemauga No. 3 was eliminated by boundary reforms in 2018.[10] He stood in Gagaemauga No 2 at the April 2021 Samoan general election, but was unsuccessful.[11][12]
