Ndii rubbishes court ruling declaring presidential advisors illegal

Economist David Ndii says that formal state offices were not a prerequisite for advising the President.

The Chairperson of the Presidential Council of Economic Advisors, David Ndii, has downplayed a High Court ruling that declared the offices of presidential advisors unconstitutional, insisting that the decision would not stop him or others from advising President William Ruto.

Through his social media, Ndii criticised the judgment delivered on Thursday, terming it a “pyrrhic victory” and arguing that advisors could continue to offer guidance informally as a “kitchen cabinet.”
