Law Society of Kenya President Eric Theuri has said the only way one can be part of Cabinet meetings is if they are a Cabinet Secretary.
Theuri spoke during an interview with KTN on Wednesday night, saying the Cabinet is composed of CSs only.
"You sit in Cabinet by virtue of your appointment as a Cabinet Secretary. So anyone who sits in Cabinet can not be there in any other capacity other than as a Cabinet Secretary," he said.
Theuri said if there is a need for an adviser or an expert during Cabinet meetings, the expert can be called in to shed light on his area of expertise and thereafter leave allowing the CSs to deliberate on the information delivered.
"The fact that the strangers are even unable to explain how they are sitting in Cabinet is actually where the problem is," the lawyer said.
However, the Cabinet of the Republic of Kenya is made up of the President, Deputy President, Attorney General and Cabinet Secretaries.
The Constitution of Kenya 2010 allows a maximum of 22 ministries under Article 152 and sets the minimum number to 14.
Among the 'strangers' seen in recent Cabinet meetings are UDA Secretary General Cleophas Malala, Adviser to the President Monica Juma and Economic Adviser David Ndii.
Malala defended his presence at Cabinet saying he is there as an adviser of President William Ruto.
During an interview on Wednesday, Malala said he took an oath of secrecy to attend the meetings as an adviser.
He said Ruto has not breached the law by allowing his advisers to sit in the Cabinet.
"I did not take an oath of office, I took an oath of secrecy. The President needs wisdom and thought it wise that his advisers needed to be with him when he is deliberating on crucial matters of this country,'' Malala said.
Malala said his role in the Cabinet will be to ensure that the Kenya Kwanza manifesto is implemented by relevant CSs as promised during last year's campaigns.
