Kenya court cases challenge GRA director general’s appointment
Two court cases challenge Peter Maina Karimi’s February 2026 appointment as director general of Kenya’s Gambling Regulatory Authority, alleging that he did not meet statutory experience and conflict-of-interest requirements. Karimi denies the allegations, and the GRA board says it found him qualified; the cases remain pending, with no final court ruling.
The pending challenges may affect confidence in GRA leadership while it oversees operator licensing reviews.
