The High Court in Kenya has upheld the country's mandatory retirement age, dismissing a petition that sought to declare the policy unconstitutional. Justice Lawrence Mugambi ruled that the policy balances opportunities and is a service condition, not a fundamental right.

• The mandate retirement age of 60 years (or 65 years for persons with disabilities) was challenged.
• The petition was filed by Charles Chege Gitau, arguing it violated constitutional rights and promoted stereotypes.
• The court reaffirmed the power of the Public Service Commission’s (PSC) to set service conditions and noted that different retirement ages for certain roles are based on unique job demands.
