A Kenyan High Court has ruled that presidential advisers, including David Ndii, can attend Cabinet meetings, dismissing a petition that sought to block their presence. Justice Lawrence Mugambi stated that President William Ruto has the discretion to invite experts for advisory purposes, emphasizing that no laws prevent this.

• Justice Mugambi clarified that while advisors can be invited, their permanent attendance would contravene the Constitution.
• The petition, filed on July 3, 2023, by Walter Dzuya, aimed to bar David Ndii, Cleophas Malala, Monica Juma, and Harriette Chiggai from attending the meetings.
• The petitioner argued that their inclusion was unconstitutional as they were not Cabinet Secretaries as per Article 152 of the Constitution, which limits Cabinet members to the President, Deputy President, Attorney General, and between 14 and 22 Cabinet Secretaries.
