NMS Director Badi Barred from Attending Cabinet Meetings as Court Invalidates Uhuru Order
Milimani High Court has nullified a decision by President Uhuru Kenyatta that appointed and included Lieutenant General Mohamed Badi into Cabinet meetings.

Justice Anthony Mrima declared that the decision as contained in Executive order No. 3 of 2020 is illegal.
Justice Mrima also issued an order prohibiting Badi from attending any Cabinet meetings or discharging any functions of the Cabinet.
“There there is no doubt the appointment of Badi into the Cabinet was not approved by the National Assembly. As such it is unclear as to by whom and how Badi will be oversighted. His term of office in the Cabinet also remains an illusion,” the judge said.
Mrima also said it does not find any justification in the decision to include Badi in the Cabinet.
In the case, Kandara MP Alice Wahome moved to court to challenge the constitutionality of the decision to appoint and include Badi, the Director-General of Nairobi Metropolitan services into the Cabinet and its committees.
Badi was tasked with the responsibility of transforming the city and dismantling cartels that have held the city at ransom for years.
