The Chairperson of the Presidential Council for Economic Advisors David Ndii is a man who is not afraid to speak his mind.
The highly rated economist has been a prominent figure in William Ruto regime. Questions have lingered on the kind of advise he gives the president as Kenyans complain of the ever increasing cost of living.

The prolific economist studied at Nyahururu High School where he was a top student. In a post on his X account, Ndii stated that the school was “not where well to do people children go to school. We are self made people”.

David Ndii undertook his master’s and doctorate degrees in economics at Oxford University.
