Two separate court cases are challenging the appointment of former Cabinet Secretary Adan Mohamed as Commissioner-General of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), citing his age as the primary reason for ineligibility.

• Petitioners argue that Adan Mohamed, aged 62, has exceeded the mandatory public service retirement age of 60.
• The lawsuits were filed by Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK) and Nairobi resident Bernard Opere at the Employment and Labour Relations Court and the High Court.
• The appointment, formally gazetted on May 18, 2026, by Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi, is for a three-year term and is now under threat of suspension.
