Born in Liverpool, Kebty-Fletcher was educated in that city and on the continent of Europe, and was a linguist, speaking five languages.
During the Second Anglo-Boer War he worked as a correspondent for the Liverpool Post. In 1912 his address was given as "The Paddock", Hooton, Cheshire. He stood at the 1906 General Election as Conservative candidate for Rossendale but lost to the Liberal, Lewis Harcourt.
In May 1913 Kebty-Fletcher announced his immediate resignation from parliament by appointment as Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead, causing a by-election.
In his short parliamentary career he was involved in two controversies. In 1913 he attacked the government over the Marconi scandal.
Active in Unionist politics, by 1900 Kebty-Fletcher was a member of Liverpool City Council. As the Liberals were able to form a minority government with support from the Irish Parliamentary Party, Kebty-Fletcher found himself on the opposition benches.
