The Supreme Court of Kenya has allowed a case challenging the appointment of 51 Principal Secretaries by President William Ruto to proceed, dismissing an attempt by the Attorney General to halt the proceedings. This decision means the legality of the appointments will undergo full judicial scrutiny.

• The case questions whether the appointments complied with constitutional requirements, including public participation and merit-based selection.
• The petition was filed by Magare Gikenyi, who seeks to nullify the appointments and compel a fresh, constitutionally compliant recruitment process.
• The Supreme Court ruled that the issues raised involve constitutional interpretation and accountability, warranting judicial review despite arguments that appointments fall under executive authority.
