Key Highlights

The Employment and Labour Relations Court has set May 21, 2026, for further directions in a petition challenging the appointment of Adan Abdulla Mohamed as the new Commissioner-General of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).

  • The court ordered immediate service of the Notice of Motion on all respondents, with a proof of service to be filed promptly.
  • Key parties involved include the Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK), the National Treasury, the KRA Board, the Public Service Commission, the Attorney General, and Adan Abdulla Mohamed.
  • The petition questions the legality of Gazette Notice No. 7393, dated May 18, 2026, arguing the appointment undermines constitutional principles of merit, transparency, and accountability in public service.
