The Supreme Court of Kenya has ruled that a petition challenging the appointment of several Principal Secretaries by President William Ruto will proceed. This decision allows the legal case, which questions the constitutional compliance of the appointments, to move forward to a full hearing despite efforts to halt it.

• The petition, filed by Dr. Magare Gikenyi, argues that the appointments violated the Constitution, specifically regarding public participation, merit-based selection, and adherence to Chapter Six principles.
• The Attorney General and other respondents had sought to block the case, asserting the appointments were lawful and within the President's executive authority.
• The Supreme Court determined the issues involve constitutional interpretation and accountability, warranting judicial scrutiny, with potential broader implications for future government appointments.
