The High Court has dismissed a petition challenging Kenya's mandatory retirement age, ruling that the current age limits are lawful and non-discriminatory. The decision upholds the retirement ages of 60 years for most employees and 65 years for persons with disabilities, affirming existing legal and policy frameworks.

• The petitioner, Charles Chege Gitau, argued the policy violated constitutional rights and perpetuated stereotypes.
• Justice Mugambi ruled that the Public Service Commission (PSC) has the constitutional mandate to set retirement ages, and provisions exist for retaining exceptional talent on post-retirement contracts.
• The PSC and the Federation of Kenya Employers successfully defended the policy, citing fairness, workforce planning, and youth employment promotion.
