Presidential advisors are not Cabinet secretaries

Recently, President William Ruto allowed four of his advisors to sit in the Cabinet. This has been construed by a section of Kenyans as a violation of the country's Constitution which specifies what a Cabinet comprises. Article 152 of the supreme law states that, "the Cabinet consists of the President, the Deputy President, the Attorney General and not fewer than 14 and not more than 22 Cabinet Secretaries." By allowing his advisors to sit in some Cabinet meetings, has the president really violated the Constitution?
