As the Deputy Speaker of the Fourth Parliament his tenure was cut short by his resignation on June 20, 1983 . The resignation of Mr. arap Keino arose out of a contentious ruling he had made a few days earlier barring the then Member for Lurambi South the Hon. Wasike Ndombi from moving an Adjournment motion pursuant to provisions of Standing Order 20. His resignation forestalled the debate on a no Confidence Motion in him to have been moved by the Member for Bungoma South, the Hon. L. S. Sifuna. No successor was elected as the dissolution of the Fourth Parliament came on July 22, 1983, paving way for snap general elections on September 26, 1983.

On 12 April 1988 Moses Kiprono arap Keino was elected unopposed as the Speaker of the Parliament of Kenya KANU and served till resignation on June 11, 1991 . Consequently, Mr. Speaker arap Keino became the second Speaker so far to resign from the office of Speaker of the National Assembly since October 1948; and the only one since independence .

Moses Kiprono arap Keino later crossed over to the Opposition [FORD] and fought for Multi-Party Politics in Kenya until the then President Daniel arap Moi allowed it in the 1992 elections.

FORD was split into two factions namely; Ford-Asili under Kenneth Matiba and Forum for the Restoration of Democracy–Kenya under the late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga father of present Prime Minister of Kenya Hon. Raila Odinga. In 1992, he contested the Kipkelion constituency which was considered a KANU zone under FORD-KENYA.

Moses Kiprono arap Keino died November 4, 1998 following a long illness and was buried at his Sorget farm in Londiani, Kericho District.
