The High Court has upheld Kenya's mandatory retirement age for employees in both the public and private sectors, ruling that the age limits are lawful and non-discriminatory. This decision was delivered by Justice Lawrence Mugambi, dismissing a petition that sought to abolish existing retirement regulations.

• The standard retirement age remains 60 years, or 65 years for persons with disabilities, as set by the Public Service Commission.
• The case, Charles Chege Gitau v State Law Office & Federation of Kenya Employers & Others (HCCHRPET/E085/2024), was heard at the Milimani Law Courts.
• The petitioner argued that the regulations violated constitutional rights and were based on outdated stereotypes regarding older workers' productivity.
