Retirement age and fixed-term contracts

Fixed-term contracts are commonplace in both the private and public sectors. The case of SABC v Valla (JA100/24) ZALAC 47 (22 September 2025) is interesting because of the clash between a fixed-term contract, the existing retirement age and a board resolution to convert general managers to permanent employees.

Labour Law Reform: Key Proposed Amendments

The PBO regulatory regime comes full circle with the regulations now in place

With the 13 May 2026 deadline for public benefit organisations (PBOs) to comply with the Public Benefit Organisations Act, Cap. 134 (PBO Act) looming, on 18 March 2026 the Kenyan Government gazetted the Public Benefit Organisations Regulations, 2026 (PBO Regulations), following the public participation period. The PBO Regulations provide the operational rules for implementing the PBO Act, including the framework for registration, governance, reporting and regulatory oversight by the Public Benefit Organisations Regulatory Authority (PBORA). For many organisations, the gazettement marks a decisive shift away from the legacy non-governmental organisations (NGOs) regulatory framework and signals the need to review internal governance structures, constitutional documents and compliance systems ahead of the transition timeline.
