A legal showdown is looming between the ruling Kenya Kwanza Alliance and Azimio la Umoja One Kenya following President William Ruto's decision to allow 'strangers' to sit in the Cabinet.

On Tuesday, the President gave the go-ahead for UDA Secretary General Cleophas Malala, advisors Monica Juma (National Security), David Ndii (Economy) and Harriette Chiggai (Women rights), to sit in the country's top decision-making organ.
