He has been Speaker of the Legislature of the Marshall Islands since 4 January 2016. Kedi won the election with 19 votes to 14 of former Marshall Islands President Christopher Loeak.[1] He succeeded Donald Capelle. Kedi is a member of the Kien Eo Ad (KEA) party.[2] Kedi represents the Rongelap Atoll in the Legislature. He has stated that people from the atoll are hesitant to return after nuclear testing on the island by the United States during the 20th-century.[3] In June 2011 when Kedi was Minister of Transport and Communications, he was charged with ten counts of criminal acts relating to misappropriation of funds, making it the first time a Marshall Islands minister was charged with criminal acts.[4][5] When the case went to court the next month seven of the charges were dropped, and Kedi pleaded no contest to the remaining three. The amount of money involved in the case was around US$2000. Kedi received a suspended prison sentence of 30 days, and a $1000 fine. He continued to serve as Minister.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite web|author= |url=http://marshallislandsjournal.com/Journal_WP/?p=2825 |title=Carsten Nemra new RMI President |publisher=The Marshall Islands Journal |date=4 January 2016 |accessdate=20 March 2016}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Kedi, Kenneth}}{{Marshalls-politician-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|author= |url=http://rmiparliament.org/cms/component/content/article.html?id=38:senator-kenneth-kedi,-the-seventh-speaker-of-the-nitijela |title=Senator Kenneth Kedi, the Seventh Speaker of the Nitijela |publisher=Legislature of the Marshall Islands |date= |accessdate=20 March 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|author=Dan Zak |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/national/2015/11/27/a-ground-zero-forgotten/ |title=A ground zero forgotten The Marshall Islands, once a U.S. nuclear test site, face oblivion again |publisher=The Washington Post |date=27 November 2015 |accessdate=20 March 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web|author= |url=http://www.radionz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/197550/marshall-islands-cabinet-minister-makes-history-with-criminal-charges |title=Marshall Islands cabinet minister makes history with criminal charges |publisher=Radio New Zealand |date=3 June 2011 |accessdate=20 March 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web|author=Giff Johnson |url=http://www.mvariety.com/regional-news/37837-marshalls-ministers-case-faces-hurdles-to-trial |title=Marshalls minister’s case faces hurdles to trial |publisher=Marianas Variety |date=20 June 2011 |accessdate=20 March 2016}} 6. ^{{cite web|author= |url=http://www.radionz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/198339/marshalls-minister-kedi-pleads-no-contest |title=Marshalls minister Kedi pleads no contest |publisher=Radio New Zealand |date=14 July 2011 |accessdate=20 March 2016}} 5 : 1971 births|Living people|Members of the Legislature of the Marshall Islands|Speakers of the Legislature of the Marshall Islands|People from the Ralik Chain |
