A recruitment drive by the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) in Kenya has been halted by a court petition challenging its legality and constitutionality. The petition seeks to suspend the process for various positions, including Compliance Officers and Accountants, advertised on January 13, 2026, due to alleged discriminatory practices.

• The recruitment targeted positions such as Compliance Officers, Office Administrator, and Accountants.
• The petition argues the process is discriminatory, specifically citing the requirement for applicants to physically deliver hard copy applications to NACADA’s headquarters in Nairobi.
• Other complaints include failure to advertise in national newspapers, reliance on MyGov for publication, and omission of remuneration details, allegedly violating constitutional provisions on fair labor practices.
